TOM JOAD- By Woody Guthrie

The last verses of Tom Joad song and his dedication to lifting the burden of the oppressed.

"Tom Joad ran back where his Mamma

was asleep

And he woke her up out of bed.

And he kissed goodbye to the Mother

that he loved

And he said what preacher Casey said.

Everybody might be just one big soul

Well it looks that way to me,

So everywhere you look in th' day

or th' night

That's where I'm gonna be, Ma,

That's where I'm going to be.

Wherever little kids are hungry and cry,

Wherever people ain't free,

Wherever men are fightin' for their rights

That's where I'm going to be, Ma,

That's where I'm gong to be."
