Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33 For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me. He said, Roll along Columbia. You can ramble to the sea, But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me.
Woody Guthrie
One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple, by the Relief Office, I saw my people - As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.
