I been a restin’. Ain't been a workin’ I been seetin' down. I been a thinkin’ How the rich man runs the land. How he promised He would help us, If we put him Into office How he turned his promises around. Big dictators. Speculators Senators And Agitators, They tell what all they gonna do, When they get Into their office, See what they can Take off of us, Take from me and take from you. Finance-man He frisk us, frisk us Lawyer man, He won't protect us, Where O where is a honest man Barber-man, he Clip your whiskers Money-man, he Clip your sister. Banker man, he take your land. ‘Cross the Country I been lookin', Seldom see Anybody workin' Is the work of the world all done? Come a big rain, Come big thunder, Come big crop Plow crop under, Indians never waste a one. Can’t beat finance, Man and weather, Workin’ man got to Got together, Have a big meetin' down in town Workin’-man gotta Take the groceries Feed the widows, Feed the orphans. Pass the groceries all around.
