Pastures of Plenty - Old Woody Guthrie Cover - Videos

I dedicate the song to all my ancestors/migrants who came to the USA with the Red Star Line to find a better life.- One Voice- One home-made 5string tambourine banjoPastures of PlentyWords and Music by Woody GuthrieIt's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoedMy poor feet have traveled a hot dusty roadOut of your Dust Bowl and Westward we rolledAnd your deserts were hot and your mountains were coldI worked in your orchards of peaches and prunesI slept on the ground in the light of the moonOn the edge of the city you'll see us and thenWe come with the dust and we go with the windCalifornia, Arizona, I harvest your cropsWell its North up to Oregon to gather your hopsDig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vineTo set on your table your light sparkling wineGreen pastures of plenty from dry desert groundFrom the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run downEvery state in the Union us migrants have beenWe'll work in this fight and we'll fight till we winIt's always we rambled, that river and IAll along your green valley, I will work till I dieMy land I'll defend with my life if it beCause my pastures of plenty must always be free
