Tom Joad, Pt. 2

Lyrics

The Joads rolled away to the jungle camp There they cooked a stew The hungry little kids of the jungle camp Said, "We'd like to have some too" "We'd like to have some too" Now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man Shot a woman in the back Before he could take his aim again Preacher Casey dropped him in his track Preacher Casey dropped him in his track They handcuffed Casey and took him to jail And then hе got away And he met Tom Joad on that old river bridgе And these few words he did say These few words he did say "I've preached for the Lord a mighty long time Preached about the rich and the poor Us workin' folkses all get together 'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore We ain't got a chance anymore" Now, the deputies come, and Tom and Casey run To the bridge where the water run down But the vigilante thugs hit Casey with a club They laid Preacher Casey on the ground They laid Preacher Casey on the ground Tom Joad, he grabbed that deputy's club And hit him over the head Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night And a deputy and a preacher lying dead, two men A deputy and a preacher lying dead Tom run back where his mother was asleep He woke her up out of bed And he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved And said what Preacher Casey said He said what Preacher Casey said "Everybody might be just one big soul Well, it looks that way to me Everywhere that you look, in the day or night That's where I'm gonna be That's where I'm gonna be Wherever little children are hungry and cry Wherever people ain't free Wherever men are fightin' for their rights That's where I'm gonna be That's where I'm gonna be That's where I'm gonna be"
