The Workingman's Hymn

Some people hungry for a green-backed bill

Some folks hunger for the top of the hill

Some people just trying to get a decent meal

But I know that we can can turn it around

Some people sleeping in a fine feather bed

Some folks are dreaming of the old homestead

Some just need a place to lay their head

But I know that we can can turn it around

I know that we can turn it around

If there's one thing that I found

There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn

I know that we can turn it around

River bottom up to home on high

End of the line or the endless sky

Jet setting or just getting by

I know that we can turn it around

I know that we can turn it around

If there's one thing that I found

There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn

I know that we can turn it around

From the Ninth Ward up to Pettycoat lane

One man's joy has been another man's pain

But the sun keeps shining through the driving rain

And I know that we can turn it around

I know that we can turn it around

If there's one thing that I found

There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn

I know that we can turn it around
