The Banks Of Marble Lyrics - Leo Kottke

I've traveled 'round this country 

From shore to shining shore 

It really made me wonder 

The things I heard and saw 

I saw the farmer working 

Plowing sod and loam 

I heard the auction hammer 

Knocking down his home 

The banks are made of marble 

With a guard at every door 

And the vaults are stuffed with silver 

That the farmer sweated for

I've seen the weary miner 

Scrubbing coal dust from his back 

I've heard his children cryin' 

"No coal to heat the shack" 

But the banks are made of marble 

With a guard at every door 

And the vaults are stuffed with silver 

That the miner sweated for 

I'd seen my brothers working 

Throughout this mighty land 

I prayed we'd get together 

And together make a stand

And we might share those vaults of silver
