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»
