lyrics

V1
Men once tore through mountains
To lay lines of iron and wood
The dreams of robber barons
Spilled miles and miles of migrant blood
Dynamite was a beam of light
That shone from the face of a shovel
Digging its way across the land
Through every field and ghetto.

Ch1
Up on the tracks just before noon
The sun was a blister of the moon
And the Chinese and the Irish were fighting
Up on the tracks just before noon
The sun was a blister of the moon
And the salt flats were so blinding.

V2
Workers died turned into ties
Until their graves formed a grid
Laid out across the land
Through every field and ghetto.

Ch2
Up on the tracks I was walking along
A train’s bearing down but I still hear their song
They’re singing:
Every field and ghetto
Every field and ghetto we went through
We lost a man, yes it’s true
A father, a son, a brother, our blood
Every field and ghetto.
