I been a restin’.   Ain't been a workin’   I been seetin' down.   I been a thinkin’   How the rich man runs the land.   How he promised   He would help us,   If we put him   Into office   How he turned his promises around.      Big dictators.   Speculators   Senators   And Agitators,   They tell what all they gonna do,   When they get   Into their office,   See what they can   Take off of us,   Take from me and take from you.      Finance-man   He frisk us, frisk us   Lawyer man,   He won't protect us,   Where O where is a honest man   Barber-man, he   Clip your whiskers   Money-man, he   Clip your sister.   Banker man, he take your land.      ‘Cross the Country   I been lookin',   Seldom see   Anybody workin'   Is the work of the world all done   Come a big rain,   Come big thunder,   Come big crop   Plow crop under,   Indians never waste a one.      Can’t beat finance,   Man and weather,   Workin’ man got to   Got together,   Have a big meetin' down in town   Workin’-man gotta   Take the groceries   Feed the widows,   Feed the orphins.   Pass the groceries all around
