Brother Can You Spare a Dime (Original Mix) Lyrics
Brother Can You Spare a Dime (Original Mix) - The Weavers
They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread
Once I built a railroad I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime
Once I built a tower to the sun
Made a brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime
Once in khaki suits gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say don't you remember they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say don't you remember I'm your pal
Buddy can you spare a dime
