Farmer-Labour Train

Farmer-Labour Train - Woody Guthrie

From the high Canadian Rockies to the land of Mexico

City and the country

Wherever you may go

Through the wild and windy weather

The sun and sleet and rain

Comes a-whistlin' through the country

This Farmer-Labor train

Listen to the jingle

And the rumble and the roar

She's rollin' through New England

To the West Pacific shore

It's a long time we've been waitin'

Now she's been whistlin' 'round the bend

Roll on into Congress on that Farmer-Labor train

There's lumberjacks and teamsters

And sailors from the sea

There's farmin' boys from Texas

And the hills of Tennessee

There's miners from Kentucky

There's fishermen from Maine

Every worker in the country rides

That Farmer-Labor train

There's warehouse boys

And truckers and guys that skin the cats

Men that run the steel mills

The furnace and the blast

Through the smoky factory cities

Over the hot and dusty plains

And the cushions they are crowded

On this Farmer-Labor train

Listen to the jingle and the rumble and the roar

She's rollin' through New England

To the West Pacific shore

It's a long time we've been waitin'

Now she's been whistlin' 'round the bend

Ride on on into Congress on

That Farmer-Labor train

There's folks of every color

And they're ridin' side by side

Through the swamps of Louisiana

And across the Great Divide

From the wheat fields

And the orchards

And the lowing cattle range

And they're rolling onto victory

On this Farmer-Labor train

This train pulled into Washington a bright and happy day

When she steamed into the station

You could hear the people say

There's that Farmer-Labor Special

She's full of union men

Headin' onto White House on the Farmer-Labor train
