Michael Hurley's renditions of, "pastures of plenty," written by woodie guthrie [verse 1]
       D         Bm          D              Bm
It's a long hard row that my poor hands has hoed

   D                                    Bm
My poor feet have traveled a hot, dusty road

D                                        Bm
Out of your Dust Bowl and westward we rolled

D                    Bm           G             Bm
And your deserts was hot and your mountain were cold
[verse 2]
 D              Bm          D              Bm
California and Arizona, I worked all your crops

   D                                              Bm
And its North up to Oregon to gather harvest your hops

D                                                         Bm
Dig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine

D                    Bm           G          Bm
To set on your table your light, sparkling wine
[verse 3]
 D                Bm          D            Bm
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes

 D                                       Bm
Slept on the ground in the light of your moon

D                                        Bm
On the edge of the city you'll see us and then

D                Bm           G            Bm
We come with the dust and we go with the wind
[verse 4]
 D                   Bm             D        Bm
Well, it's always we rambled, that river and I

 D                                              Bm
All along your green valley, I will work till I die

D                                        Bm
My land I'll defend with my life if it be

D             Bm           G               Bm
'Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free
[verse 5]
 D         Bm          D              Bm
Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground

 D                                             Bm
From the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run down

D                                        Bm
Every state in this Union us migrants have been

D                    Bm           G             Bm
We'll work in this fight and we'll fight till we win
