GBaby I kDnow that we've got troAmuble in the fielCds
GWhen the bankers swarm like loDcust out there tAmurning away our Gyield
GThe trains roll Dby our silos, silAmver in the raCin
They leave our poGckets full of nDothing
But our drAmeams and the golden grGain
[Verse]
GHave youD seen the folks in linAme downtown at thCe station
GThey're all buying their tickeDt out and talkinAmg the great deprGession
GOur pareDnts had their hard timAmes fifty years aCgo
GWhen they stood out in these eDmpty fields in dAmust as deep as sGnow
[Chorus]
AnGd all this troDuble in our fieClds
If this rGain can fall, these woAmunds can heal
They'll never tGake our native sDoil
But if we sCell that new John DDeere
And then we'll wGork these crops with sAmweat and tears
You'll be the mGule I'll be the pDlow
Come harvest tAmime we'll work it Cout
There's stAmill a lot of love, hDere in these troubled fieGlds
[Verse]
GThere's Da book up on the shelfAm about the dust Cbowl days
And there's a liGttle bit of you and a liDttle bit of me
In tAmhe photos on every pGage
GNow our Dchildren live in the cAmity and they resCt upon our shoulders
GThey never want the rain to faDll or the weatheAmr to get colder G
[Chorus]
AnGd all this trouDble in our fieClds
If this rGain can fall, these woAmunds can heal
They'll never tGake our native sDoil
But if we sCell that new John DDeere
And then we'll wGork these crops with sAmweat and tears
You'll be the mGule I'll be the pDlow
Come harvest tAmime we'll work it Cout
There's stAmill a lot of love, hDere in these troubled fieGlds
You'll be the mGule I'll be the Dplow
Come harvest tAmime we'll work it Cout
There's stAmill a lot of love, hDere in these troubled fieGlds
