Some people hunger for the greenback bill
Some folks hunger for the top of the hill
Some people just tryin' to get a decent meal
Well I know that we can turn it around
Some people sleepin' in a fine feather bed
Some folks are dreamin' of an old homestead
Some just need a place to lay their head
Well I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
River bottom up to home on high
In the light of the endless sky
Jetsettin' or just gettin' by
I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
From the 9th Ward up to Patoka Lake
One man's joy's been another man's pain
But the sun keeps shinin' through the drivin' rain
And I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
There's one thing that I've found
If there's a force in the dim singin' a workingman's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
