No. 39. Oh! For A Thousand Tongues.
S. J. Johnson.
1. Oh! for a thousand tongues to sing
The way our laws are used,
In honor of our Money Kings,
Us farmers to abuse,
In honor of our Money Kings,
Us farmers to abuse.
2. They walk the golden streets of wealth,
And rise to luxuries high;
Us farmers who, in want or death,
Can only mercy cry,
Us farmers who, in want or death,
Can only mercy cry.
3. They will not heed our great lament,
While they in luxury soar;
They only think of ten percent,
And how to yank some more,
They only think of ten percent,
And how to yank some more.
4. They tell us farmers to keep still —
We must not speak nor weep:
In doing this their laws fulfill
And for our bread plow deep,
In doing this their laws fulfill
And for our bread plow deep.
