Banks Of Marble
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i've travelled around the country from shore to shining shore and it really made me wonder at the things i heard and see.
i was the weary farmer plowing his sod and loam.
ii heard the auction hammer just a-knockin' down his home.
chorus: but the banks are made of marble with a guard at every door.
and the vaults are stuffed with silver that the farmer/miner/fisher sweated for.
i saw the weary miner scrubbin' coal dust from his back.
and i heard his children crying got no coal to heat this shack.
(chorus) i saw the fisher standing idly by the shore.
an' i heard the owner sayin' got no work for you no more.
(chorus) i see other people working throughout this mighty land and i pray we get together.
and together make a stand.
and we'll take those banks of marble with a guard at every door.
and we'll share those vaults of silver that we have sweated for.
