[00:00.00]Field Song - William Elliott Whitmore
[00:26.22]Write this down and don't forget
[00:31.36]
[00:32.83]That the best of times ain't happened yet
[00:38.73]
[00:40.22]The gilded age has long been done
[00:46.11]
[00:47.38]And so many lost when the west was won
[00:52.79]
[00:58.41]Let's go to the field were gonna do some work
[01:04.27]
[01:06.11]Spend our day digging in the dirt
[01:10.69]
[01:12.84]We'll hope for rain to follow the plow
[01:19.75]
[01:20.34]And this piece of ground is a homestead now
[01:26.06]
[01:27.49]This little piece of ground is a homestead now
[01:32.42]
[01:55.33]Three square meals and a living wage
[02:02.46]Reminds me of the good ol' days
[02:09.13]Before the manifest destiny of the factory farms
[02:14.85]
[02:16.36]When those cut throats came
[02:18.37]And burned down the barn
[02:22.52]
[02:27.95]Underneath the black locust tree
[02:33.38]
[02:34.61]There's a shady place that waits for me
[02:40.32]
[02:42.22]To rest my bones and to rest my mind
[02:47.91]
[02:49.23]I'm gonna rest right here when I die
[02:53.90]
[03:17.10]Write this down and don't forget
[03:22.24]
[03:23.77]That the best of times ain't happened yet
