What is this land of America? So many travel there Im going down while Im still young, my darlin meet me there Wish me luck my lovely, Ill send for you when I can And well make our home in the American land Over there the women wear silk and satin to their knees* And children near, the sweets I hear are growin on the trees* Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands* If you make your home in the American land* Theres diamonds in the sidewalks, theres gutters lined in song Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long Theres treasure for the takin for any hard working man Wholl make his home in the American land I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spire I wandered to the valley of red hot steel and fire We made the steel that built the cities from the sweat of our two hands And I made my home in the American land Theres diamonds in the sidewalks, theres gutters lined in song Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long Theres treasure for the takin for any hard working man Wholl make his home in the American land The McNichols, the Molsowskis, the Smiths, the Rilleys too**-*** The Blacks, the Irish, the Italians, the Germans and the Jews The Puerto Ricans, illegals, the Asians, Arabs miles from home** Come across the water with a fire down below They died building the railroads, worked their bones and skin They died in the fields and factories, theyve scattered in the wind They died to get here a hundred years ago, theyre dying now The hands that built the country were all trying to keep down Theres diamonds in the sidewalks, theres gutters lined in song Dear I hear the beer flows from the faucets all night long Theres treasure for the takin for any hard working man Wholl make his home in the American land Wholl make his home in the American land Wholl make his home in the American land https://youtube/watch?v=SPIYmjzbK7c
