[00:04.000]I've traveled around this country
[00:09.000]From shore to shining shore
[00:14.000]It really made me wonder
[00:19.000]The things I heard and saw
[00:23.000]I saw the weary farmer
[00:29.000]Are plowing sod and loam
[00:33.000]I heard the auction hammer
[00:38.000]Just knocking down his home
[00:42.000]But the banks are made of marble
[00:47.000]With a guard at every door
[00:51.000]And the vaults are stuffed with silver
[00:56.000]That the farmer sweated for
[01:05.000]I've seen the seamen standing
[01:10.000]Idly by the shore
[01:15.000]And I heard there bosses saying
[01:19.000]Got no work for you no more
[01:24.000]But the banks are made of marble
[01:29.000]With a guard at every door
[01:33.000]And the vaults are stuffed with silver
[01:38.000]That the seaman sweated for
[01:47.000]I've seen the weary miner
[01:51.000]Scrubbing coal dust from his back
[01:56.000]And I heard his children crying
[02:00.000]Got no coal to heat the shack
[02:05.000]But the banks are made of marble
[02:10.000]With a guard at every door
[02:14.000]And the vaults are stuffed with silver
[02:19.000]That the miner sweated for
[02:32.000]I've seen my brothers working
[02:36.000]Throughout this mighty land
[02:40.000]l've prayed we'd get together
[02:45.000]And together make a stand
[02:50.000]Then we might own those banks of marble
[02:54.000]With a guard at every door
[02:58.000]And we would share those vaults of silver
[03:03.000]That we have sweated for
