Plains Of Nebrasky-O-Eric Andersen

[00:05.55]have you heard about a country where the rivers run free, [00:10.48]that's a place where i think you ought to go [00:15.68]where the corn stands high, tall as the sky, [00:20.27]on the great plains of old nebrasky–o. [00:25.83] [00:45.72]in school i read of men who died by the gun, [00:49.90]but not of those who died by the hoe. [00:54.24]the land has drunk the rains of many a farmer's blood [00:58.37]now forgotten and buried long ago. [01:03.06] [01:04.57]where are the hands that plowed fields without sleep [01:08.49]hands that saved a dying calf without rest [01:13.09]where are the feet that walked down them hot dusty trails [01:17.32]on their way to seek their fortunes going west. [01:21.05] [01:31.08]and where are the fathers who died in the dust [01:35.02]and mothers who died hungry in the snow [01:39.40]and where are the kids that watched the banks plow their houses down [01:42.93]those are the things i guess my teaches never knowed. [01:49.03] [02:25.83]you tell me drought hurt only corn and not men [02:31.09]you smile and say hard times have gone away [02:35.65]i guess i should listen to my city politician [02:39.73]who keeps telling me these are better days. [02:42.99] [02:05.88]is there anybody left to walk a muddy mile [02:11.11]is courage a word that's only said [02:15.65]is it true them dusty days are days that never really were [02:19.37]but are only tales in books to be read. [02:24.42] [02:53.70]have you heard about a country where the rivers run free, [02:57.53]that's a place where i think you ought to go [03:01.85]where the corn stands high, tall as the sky, [03:06.22]on the great plains of old nebrasky-o
