banks of marble - iris dement lyrics

Loading...

i’ve traveled ’round this country
from sh-r- to shining sh-r-
it really made me wonder
the things i heard and saw

i saw the weary farmer
plowing sod and loam
l heard the auction hammer
just a-knocking down his home

but the banks are made of marble
with a guard at every door
and the vaults are stuffed with silver
that the farmer sweated for

i’ve seen the weary miner
scrubbing coal dust from his back
i heard his children cryin’
“got no coal to heat the shack”

but the banks are made of marble
with a guard at every door
and the vaults are stuffed with silver
that the miner sweated for

i’ve seen my brothers working
throughout this mighty land
l prayed we’d get together
and together make a stand

then we might own those banks of marble
with a guard at every door
and we might share those vaults of silver
that we have sweated for
