The Salt Of The Earth



Joan Baez - The Salt Of The Earth - Текст песни

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil 
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier 
Spare a thought for his back brealcing work 
Say a prayer for his wife and his children 
Who burn the fires and who stili till the earth 

When I search a faceless crowd
Swirling mass of grey and black and white 
They don't look real to me, 
In fact they look so strange

Raise your glass to the hard working people 
Let's drink to the uncounted head
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who want leaders but get gamblers instead 

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter 
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows 
And a parade of gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio!

And when I search a faceless crowd
Swirling mass of grey and black and white 
They don't look real to me, 
In fact they look so strange

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the ragtaggy people 
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's think of the two thousand million
Let's think of the humble of birth
