Lyrics:

I've travelled 'round this country
From shore to shining shore
It really made me wonder
The things I heard and saw
I saw the weary farmer
Plowing his sod and loam
I 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 saw the weary miner
Scrubbing coal dust from his back
And I heard his children crying
'We've 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 miners sweated for
I saw the seaman standing
Idly by the shore
And I heard the owners saying
'Got no work for you no more'
But the banks are made of marble
With a guard at every door
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
That the seamen sweated for
I've seen my brothers working
Throughout this mighty land
I prayed we'd get together
And together make a stand
Then we'd own those banks of marble
With a guard at every door
And we would share those vaults of silver
That we have sweated for
