[Verse] I’ve traveled ’round this country From shore to shining shore It really made me wonder The things I heard and saw. [Verse] I saw the weary farmer A-plowing sod and loam I heard the auction hammer A-knocking 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 sweated for [Verse] I saw the seaman standing Idly by the shore I heard the bosses saying "Got no work for you no more." [Chorus] But the banks are made of marble With a guard at every door And the vaults are stuffed with silver That the seamen sweated for [Verse] I saw the weary miner Scrubbing coal dust from his back I heard his children crying Got no coal to heat the shack [Chorus] But the banks are made of marble With a guard at every door And the vaults are stuffed with silver That the miner sweated for [Verse] I’ve seen my brothers working Throughout this mighty land I prayed we’d get together And together make a stand [Chorus] Then we might own those banks of marble With a guard at every door And we’d share those vaults of silver That we have sweated for
