Lyrics
But the vigilante thugs hit casey with a club, he met a truck driving man, there was work for every single hand
but grandpa joad did cry
tom joad walked down to the neighbor s farm
and it looked like the promised land
there he got his parole
But the vigilante thugs hit casey with a club, but the vigilante thugs hit casey with a club Part, there was work for every single hand
Tommy turned his face toward home, the deputies come, wherever people ain t free
that s where i m a-gonna be
Found his daddy s hat, a deputy and a preacher lying dead, and these few words he did say
They ve been tractored out by the cats, tom joad took flight in the dark rainy night, an he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved
That s where i m a-gonna be, and then he got away
tom joad come a-walkin down the road
Tom joad come a-walkin down the road, in the day or night
And the hungry little kids of the jungle camp, and the hungry little kids of the jungle camp, he picked up a handful of land in his hand
And he met tom joad on the old river bridge, he woke her up out of bed
He found that his family they was gone, on a charge called homicide, that truck rolled away in a cloud of dust
i m stayin with the farm till i die
Said what preacher casey said, and he found little muley and muley said
The twelve of the joads made a mighty heavy load, a charge called homicide Tom, and tom and casey run
After four long years on a man killing charge, and a deputy and a preacher lying dead
And he met tom joad on the old river bridge, and it looked like the promised land, now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man
Wherever men are fightin for their rights, they took preacher casey and loaded in a car
a deputy and a preacher lying dead
but the vigilante thugs hit casey with a club
i m stayin with the farm till i die
And his mother said, tommy turned his face toward home Joad,, they laid preacher casey on the ground
Said what preacher casey said, well it looks that a-way to me, preacher casey dropped him in his track
these few words he did say
we ain t got a chance anymore
and then he got away
Shot a woman in the back, shot a woman in the back Part, tom joad took flight in the dark rainy night
And his mother said, they buried grandpa joad by the side of the road Joad,, there they cooked a stew
preacher casey dropped him in his track
said what preacher casey said
a deputy and a preacher lying dead
I m stayin with the farm till i die, preached about the rich and the poor Woody, and he met tom joad on the old river bridge
He woke her up out of bed, tommy turned his face toward home
tom joad walked down to the neighbor s farm
And he met tom joad on the old river bridge, and the hungry little kids of the jungle camp Woody, tom joad come a-walkin down the road
And tom and casey run, and the hungry little kids of the jungle camp
he grabbed that deputy s club
hit him over the head
That bright green valley with a river running through, he said what preacher casey said
He found that his family they was gone, us workin folkses
We d like to have some, he found that his family they was gone, the joads rolled away to the jungle camp
tom joad got out of the old mcalester pen
he met a truck driving man
said what preacher casey said
He picked up a handful of land in his hand, and tom and casey run
They thought, they took preacher casey and loaded in a car Part, there was work for every single hand
