I’ll tell it to you
The best I can
You may not believe
But it’s the best as I can see
—///
Everything seemed to go from bad to worse
Atleast that’s the way it seemed
We kept fighting
That’s just the way we came up
It didn’t matter how things went down
No body from Washington
Ever followed us anyhow
And no one could sing the blues
Like the working man
The women
From my mountain town
—-///
They talked
In their high places
Of promises
Gold and silver too
And see
Them communist
And see them fascist
They’re all just left and right
Different fists
Of the same beasts
Coming out of the ocean
–/////
Nobody ever follows us down
There’s a woman
By the river
She washes her children’s clothes
And there’s a man hanging from the tree
And you can hear the hymn she sings
No one can sing these truths
Like the eyes of those who will remember you…
—///
Well god is on our side
So long as everything stays right
And power and greed
And corruptible seed
And dylan played it well
—-///
And we will rise
And work today
No matter who fell
We will rise
And we will die
And we will grieve
No one follows us down
No one follows us down
—-///
I set my e yes s toward the burning sun
And pray to God above
No one
Knows these truths
Like the working man
The hungry man
The woman
The mother
The wife
And no one
Ever follows us down
We will remember you well
Casting hope
Like light
Upon the water
