Tom Joad, Pt. 1 |
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen |
There he got his parole |
After four long years on a man killing charge |
Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road, poor boy |
Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road |
Tom Joad, he met a truck driving man |
There he caught him a ride |
He said, «I just got loose from McAlester Pen |
On a charge called homicide |
On a charge called homicide» |
That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust |
Tommy turned his face toward home |
He met Preacher Casey, and they had a little drink |
But they found that his family, they was gone |
He found that his family, they was gone |
He found his mother’s old-fashioned shoe |
Found his daddy’s hat |
He found little Muley and Muley said |
«They've been tractored out by the cats |
They’ve been tractored out by the cats» |
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbor’s farm |
And he found his family |
They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car |
And his mother said, «We've gotta get away» |
His mother said, «We've gotta get away» |
