  • 作曲 : Woody Guthrie
    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
    The Joads rolled away to the jungle camp
    There they cooked a stew
    And the hungry little kids of the jungle camp
    Said: "We'd like to have some too "
    Said: "We'd like to have some too "
    Now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man
    Shot a woman in the back
    Before he could take his aim again
    Preacher Casey dropped him in his track poor boy
    Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
    They handcuffed Casey and they took him in jail;
    And then he got away
    And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge
    And these few words he did say poor boy
    These few words he did say
    "I preached for the Lord a mighty long time
    Preached about the rich and the poor
    Us workin' folkses all get together
    'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore
    We ain't got a chance anymore "
    Now the deputies come and Tom and Casey run
    To the bridge where the water run down
    But the vigilante thugs hit Casey with a club
    They laid Preacher Casey on the ground poor Casey
    They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
    Tom Joad he grabbed that deputy's club
    Hit him over the head
    Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night
    And a deputy and a preacher lying dead two men
    A deputy and a preacher lying dead
    Tom run back where his mother was asleep;
    He woke her up out of bed
    An' he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved
    Said what Preacher Casey said Tom Joad
    He said what Preacher Casey said
    "Ever'body might be just one big soul
    Well it looks that a-way to me
    Everywhere that you look in the day or night
    That's where I'm a-gonna be Ma
    That's where I'm a-gonna be
    Wherever little children are hungry and cry
    Wherever people ain't free
    Wherever men are fightin' for their rights
    That's where I'm a-gonna be Ma
    That's where I'm a-gonna be "
