Tom Joad, Part 2 |
The Joads rolled away to the jungle camp |
There they cooked a stew |
And the hungry little kids of the jungle camp |
Said, «We'd like to have some, too» |
Said, «We'd like to have some, too» |
Now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man |
Shot a woman in the back |
Before he could take his aim again |
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track, poor boy |
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track |
They handcuffed Casey and they took him in jail |
And then he got away |
And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge |
And these few words he did say, poor boy |
These few words he did say |
«I preached for the Lord a mighty long time |
Preached about the rich and the poor |
Us workin' folkses, all get together |
'Cause we ain’t got a chance anymore |
We ain’t got a chance anymore» |
Now, the deputies come, and Tom and Casey run |
To the bridge where the water run down |
But the vigilante thugs hit Casey with a club |
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground, poor Casey |
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground |
Tom Joad, he grabbed that deputy’s club |
Hit him over the head |
Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night |
And a deputy and a preacher lying dead, two men |
A deputy and a preacher lying dead |
Tom run back where his mother was asleep |
He woke her up out of bed |
An' he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved |
Said what Preacher Casey said, Tom Joad |
He said what Preacher Casey said |
«Ever'body might be just one big soul |
Well it looks that a-way to me |
Everywhere that you look, in the day or night |
That’s where I’m a-gonna be, Ma |
That’s where I’m a-gonna be |
Wherever little children are hungry and cry |
Wherever people ain’t free |
Wherever men are fightin' for their rights |
That’s where I’m a-gonna be, Ma |
That’s where I’m a-gonna be" |
