Farewell, my Tani,
child of a coral sea We dreamed of heaven, but you've forgotten me I loved you dearly, why did we have to part? Now I am lonely, here with a broken heart Once on silver sands we held lonesome hands That's why, my Tani, I cried "Come back to me" Once on silver sands we held lonesome hands That's why, my Tani, I cried "Come back to me"... |

Prayed to the moon to give him light He had many a mile to go that night Before he reached the town-o, town-o town-o, Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town. Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town. He ran 'til he came to a great big pen Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town o, town o, town o Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town. Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town. He grabbed the grey goose by the neck Throwed a duck across his back He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o. Old mother Flipper Flapper jumped out of bed Out of the window she cocked her head Cryin' John, John the grey goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o John, John the grey goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o John, John the grey goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o.

When the sun goes back and the first quail calls
Follow the drinking gourd The old man is a-waitin' for to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd. Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd. The river bed makes a mighty fine road, Dead trees to show you the way And it's left foot, peg foot, traveling on Follow the drinking gourd. Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd. The river ends between two hills Follow the drinking gourd There's another river on the other side Follow the drinking gourd. Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd For the old man is a-waitin' to carry you to freedom Follow the drinking gourd. I thought I heard the angels say Follow the drinking gourd The stars in the heavens gonna show you the way Follow the drinking gourd... |

Prettiest town I've ever seen. Woman there, they don't treat you mean In Abilene. I sit alone, every night Watch the trains roll out of sight How I wish they'd carry me back To Abilene.

It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road Out of your dust Bowl and Westward we rolled Blue deserts so hot and your mountains so cold I've wandered all over your green growing land Where ever your crops are I've lent you my hands On the edge of your cities, you'll see me and then I come with the dust and I'm gone with the wind California, Arizona, I'd worked on your crops the North up to Washington to gather your hops I got beets from your ground I cut grapes from your vines To sat on our table's and light sparkling wine Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground From the grand Coulee Dam where the water runs down Every state of this Union us migrants have been We come with the dust and we're gone, with the wind We come with the dust and we're gone, with the wind And we're gone.. with the wind... |
