[00:01.68]Lyrics by：Les Rice
[00:03.36]Composed by：Les Rice
[00:05.04]I've travelled around this country
[00:09.91]From shore to shining shore
[00:14.75]It really made me wonder
[00:19.43]The things I heard and saw
[00:24.23]I saw the weary farmer
[00:28.62]A'plowing sod and loam
[00:33.46]I heard the auction hammer
[00:38.08]Just a'knocking down his home
[00:42.65]But the banks are made of marble
[00:47.25]With a guard at every door
[00:51.83]And the bolts are stuffed with silver
[00:56.57]That the farmer sweated for
[01:05.84]I've seen the seaman standing
[01:10.76]Proudly by the shore
[01:14.92]And I heard their bosses saying
[01:19.56]Got no work for you no more
[01:24.26]But the banks are made of marble
[01:29.02]With a guard at every door
[01:33.58]And the bolts are stuffed with silver
[01:38.12]That the seaman sweated for
[01:47.37]I've seen the weary miner
[01:51.76]Scrubbing coal dust from his back
[01:56.38]And I've heard his children crying
[02:00.97]Got no coal to heat the shack
[02:05.65]But the banks are made of marble
[02:10.39]With a guard at every door
[02:14.98]And the bolts are stuffed with silver
[02:19.45]That the miner sweated for
[02:31.93]I've seen my brothers working
[02:36.63]Throughout this mighty land
[02:41.22]I've prayed we'd get together
[02:45.72]And together make a stand
[02:50.04]Than we might own those banks of marble
[02:54.73]With a guard at every door
[02:59.06]And we would share those bolts of silver
[03:03.78]That we have sweated for
