Pastures Of Plenty - Peter,Paul & Mary
It's a mighty hard row
That my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled
That hot dusty road
Out of the dust bowl
And westward we rolled
Your desert was hot
And your mountains were cold
I've worked in your orchards
Of peaches and prunes
I've slept on the ground
In the light of your moon
On the edge of your city
You've seen us and then
We come with the dust
And we go with the wind
California, arizona
I make all your crops
Then north up to oregon
To gather your hogs
Pull the beets from your ground
Cut the grapes from your vine
To set on your table
Your light stoping wine
Green pastures of plenty
From dry desert ground
From the grand coulee dam
Where the water runs down
Every state in this union
Us migrants have been
We'll work in your fight
And we'll fight til we win
Well it's always we ramble
That river and I
All along your green valley
I'll work til I die
My land I'll defend
With my life if need be
Cause my pastures of plenty
Must always be free
It's a mighty hard row
That my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled
That hot dusty road
On the edge of your city
You've seen us and then
We come with the dust
And we go with the wind
We come with the dust
And we go with the wind
