《Tom Joad (Part 1)》歌词

[00:00:00] Tom Joad (Part 1) - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:24] Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen

[00:00:29] There he got his parole

[00:00:32] After four long years on a man killing charge

[00:00:36] Tom Joad come a walking down the road

[00:00:39] Poor boy

[00:00:40] Tom Joad come a walking down the road

[00:00:44] Tom Joad he met a truck driving man

[00:00:49] There he caught him a ride

[00:00:52] He said: "I just got loose from

[00:00:54] McAlester's Pen On a charge called Homicide

[00:01:00] A charge called Homicide "

[00:01:04] That truck rolled away

[00:01:05] In a cloud of dust

[00:01:08] Tommy turned his face toward home

[00:01:11] He met Preacher Casey

[00:01:13] And they had a little drink

[00:01:15] But they found

[00:01:16] That his family they was gone

[00:01:19] He found that his family

[00:01:21] They was gone

[00:01:23] He found his mother's old fashion shoe

[00:01:27] Found his daddy's hat

[00:01:31] And he found little Muley and Muley said:

[00:01:35] "They've been tractored out by the cats

[00:01:38] They've been tractored out by the cats "

[00:01:43] Tom Joad walked down to the neighbors farm

[00:01:48] Found his family

[00:01:51] They took Preacher Casey

[00:01:53] And loaded in a car

[00:01:55] And his mother said "We got to git away "

[00:01:59] His mother said "We got to get away "

[00:02:03] Now the twelve of the Joads

[00:02:05] Made a mighty heavy load

[00:02:08] But Grandpa Joad did cry

[00:02:11] He picked up a handful of land in his hand

[00:02:15] Said: "I'm staying with the farm till I die

[00:02:19] Yes I'm staying with my farm till I die "

[00:02:23] They fed him short ribs

[00:02:25] And coffee and soothing syrup

[00:02:28] And Grandpa Joad did die

[00:02:31] They buried Grandpa Joad

[00:02:33] By the side of the road

[00:02:36] Buried Grandma on the California side

[00:02:39] They buried Grandma on the California side

[00:02:44] They stood on a Mountain

[00:02:46] And they looked to the West

[00:02:48] And it looked like the promised land

[00:02:51] That bright green valley with a

[00:02:54] River running through

[00:02:55] There was work for every single hand

[00:02:58] They thought

[00:02:59] There was work for every single hand
