[00:00.000] 作曲 : Woody Guthrie
[00:25.10]Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen;
[00:29.62]There he got his parole
[00:33.18]After four long years on a man killing charge
[00:37.26]Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road poor boy
[00:41.04]Tom Joad come a-walkin' down the road
[00:45.11]Tom Joad he met a truck driving man;
[00:49.51]There he caught him a ride
[00:52.82]He said "I just got loose from McAlester Pen
[00:56.93]On a charge called homicide
[01:00.74]A charge called homicide "
[01:04.65]That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust;
[01:08.86]Tommy turned his face toward home
[01:12.38]He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink
[01:16.25]But they found that his family they was gone
[01:19.99]He found that his family they was gone
[01:23.82]He found his mother's old-fashion shoe
[01:28.10]Found his daddy's hat
[01:31.55]And he found little Muley and Muley said
[01:35.49]"They've been tractored out by the cats
[01:39.24]They've been tractored out by the cats "
[01:44.08]Tom Joad walked down to the neighbor's farm
[01:48.39]Found his family
[01:51.82]They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car
[01:55.79]And his mother said "We've got to get away "
[01:59.46]His mother said "We've got to get away "
[02:04.27]Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load;
[02:08.22]But Grandpa Joad did cry
[02:11.98]He picked up a handful of land in his hand
[02:15.56]Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die
[02:19.62]Yes I'm stayin' with the farm till I die "
[02:24.03]They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup;
[02:28.36]And Grandpa Joad did die
[02:31.67]They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road
[02:36.18]Grandma on the California side
[02:39.57]They buried Grandma on the California side
[02:44.37]They stood on a mountain and they looked to the west
[02:48.27]And it looked like the promised land
[02:52.00]That bright green valley with a river running through
[02:55.77]There was work for every single hand they thought
[02:59.33]There was work for every single hand
[03:24.66]The Joads rolled away to the jungle camp
[03:28.98]There they cooked a stew
[03:32.32]And the hungry little kids of the jungle camp
[03:36.05]Said: "We'd like to have some too "
[03:39.96]Said: "We'd like to have some too "
[03:43.86]Now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man
[03:47.90]Shot a woman in the back
[03:51.52]Before he could take his aim again
[03:55.41]Preacher Casey dropped him in his track poor boy
[03:59.65]Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
[04:03.10]They handcuffed Casey and they took him in jail;
[04:10.47]And then he got away
[04:13.56]And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge
[04:17.21]And these few words he did say poor boy
[04:21.51]These few words he did say
[04:24.85]"I preached for the Lord a mighty long time
[04:29.24]Preached about the rich and the poor
[04:32.68]Us workin' folkses all get together
[04:36.45]'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore
[04:40.20]We ain't got a chance anymore "
[04:44.01]Now the deputies come and Tom and Casey run
[04:47.99]To the bridge where the water run down
[04:51.67]But the vigilante thugs hit Casey with a club
[04:55.76]They laid Preacher Casey on the ground poor Casey
[04:59.29]They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
[05:03.11]Tom Joad he grabbed that deputy's club
[05:07.42]Hit him over the head
[05:10.66]Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night
[05:14.56]And a deputy and a preacher lying dead two men
[05:18.62]A deputy and a preacher lying dead
[05:23.53]Tom run back where his mother was asleep;
[05:27.15]He woke her up out of bed
[05:30.52]An' he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved
[05:34.77]Said what Preacher Casey said Tom Joad
[05:38.35]He said what Preacher Casey said
[05:42.89]"Ever'body might be just one big soul
[05:46.54]Well it looks that a-way to me
[05:50.36]Everywhere that you look in the day or night
[05:54.02]That's where I'm a-gonna be Ma
[05:58.33]That's where I'm a-gonna be
[06:01.74]Wherever little children are hungry and cry
[06:05.84]Wherever people ain't free
[06:09.62]Wherever men are fightin' for their rights
[06:12.87]That's where I'm a-gonna be Ma
[06:16.98]That's where I'm a-gonna be "
