brother, can you spare a dime? - barbara dane lyrics

Loading...

they used to tell me i was building a dream
and so i followed the mob
when there was earth to till or guns to bear
i was always there on the job

they used to tell me i was building a dream
with peace and glory ahead
why should i be standing in line just waiting for bread?

once i built a railroad, i made it run
made it race against time
once i built a railroad, now it’s done
brother, can you spare a dime?

once i built a tower up to the sun
brick and rivet and lime
once i built a tower, now it’s done
brother, can you spare a dime?

once in khaki suits, boy we looked swell
full of that ol yankee doodle dee dum
half a million boots went sloggin’ through h-ll
and i was the kid with the drum!

hey don’t you remember? they called me al
it was al all the time
why don’t you remember? i’m your pal
brother, can you spare a dime?

they used to tell me i was building a dream
and so i followed the mob
when there was earth to till or guns to bear
i was always there on the job

they used to tell me i was building a dream
with peace and glory ahead
why should i be standing in line just waiting for bread?

hey don’t you remember? they called me al
it was al all the time
why don’t you remember? i’m your pal
brother, can you spare a dime?
