《Tom Joad Part I》歌词

[00:00:00] Tom Joad Part I - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:25] 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

[00:00:37] Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road poor boy

[00:00:41] Tom Joad come a-walkin' 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 McAlester Pen

[00:00:56] On a charge called homicide

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

[00:01:04] That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust;

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

[00:01:12] He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink

[00:01:16] But they found that his family they was gone

[00:01:19] He found that his family they was gone

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

[00:01:28] 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

[00:01:39] They've been tractored out by the cats "

[00:01:44] Tom Joad walked down to the neighbor's farm

[00:01:48] Found his family

[00:01:50] They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car

[00:01:55] And his mother said "We've got to get away "

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

[00:02:04] Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load;

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

[00:02:12] He picked up a handful of land in his hand

[00:02:16] Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die

[00:02:19] Yes I'm stayin' with the farm till I die "

[00:02:24] They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup;

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

[00:02:32] They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road

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

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

[00:02:44] They stood on a mountain and they looked to the west

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

[00:02:52] That bright green valley with a river running through

[00:02:56] There was work for every single hand they thought

[00:03:00] There was work for every single hand
