[00:00.00]Banks Are Made Of Marble - Pete Seeger
[00:05.08]I've traveled round this country
[00:10.01]From shore to shining shore
[00:14.69]It really made me wonder
[00:19.38]The things I heard and saw
[00:24.36]I saw the weary farmer
[00:28.67]Plowing sod and loam;
[00:33.59]I heard the auction hammer
[00:38.13]Just knocking down his home
[00:42.65]But the banks are made of marble
[00:47.23]With a guard at every door
[00:51.73]And the vaults are stuffed with silver
[00:56.61]That the farmer sweated for
[01:05.99]I saw the seaman standing
[01:10.88]Idly by the shore
[01:15.01]And I heard the bosses saying
[01:19.67]Got no work for you no more
[01:24.51]But the banks are made of marble
[01:29.13]With a guard at every door
[01:33.60]And the vaults are stuffed with silver
[01:38.30]That the seaman sweated for
[01:47.87]I saw the weary miner
[01:51.86]Scrubbing coal dust from his back
[01:56.52]And I heard his children cryin'
[02:01.13]Got no coal to heat the shack
[02:05.77]But the banks are made of marble
[02:10.45]With a guard at every door
[02:14.87]And the vaults are stuffed with silver
[02:19.55]That the miner sweated for
[02:32.35]I've seen my brothers working
[02:36.79]Throughout this mighty land;
[02:41.31]I prayed we'd get together
[02:45.78]And together make a stand
[02:50.07]Then we mind own those banks of marble
[02:54.71]With a guard at every door;
[02:59.16]And we'd share those vaults of silver
[03:03.87]That we have sweated for
