歌曲歌詞
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen;
There he got his parole
After four long years on a man killing charge
Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road poor boy
Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road
Tom Joad he met a truck driving man;
There he caught him a ride
He said "I just got loose from McAlester Pen
On a charge called homicide
A charge called homicide "
That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust;
Tommy turned his face toward home
He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink
But they found that his family they was gone
He found that his family they was gone
He found his mother's old-fashion shoe
Found his daddy's hat
And he found little Muley and Muley said
"They've been tractored out by the cats
They've been tractored out by the cats "
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbor's farm
Found his family
They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car
And his mother said "We've got to get away "
His mother said "We've got to get away "
Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load;
But Grandpa Joad did cry
He picked up a handful of land in his hand
Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die
Yes I'm stayin' with the farm till I die "
They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup;
And Grandpa Joad did die
They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road
Grandma on the California side
They buried Grandma on the California side
They stood on a mountain and they looked to the west
And it looked like the promised land
That bright green valley with a river running through
There was work for every single hand they thought
There was work for every single hand
