Lyrics
Heard ‘em say, “get the wetback Shoot to kill, ask no questions” Idle hands, swift to mischief Public patrol, guns a blazin’ From the hills of Mendocino To fresh groves near Miami Break our backs where you don’t want to Tomatoes, grapes, strawberries Don’t cry ‘bout where I’m goin’ Don’t ask me where I’ve been Breezes of change are blowin’ Here today, gone with the wind If all our exploited families Went on home to Mexico It’d ruin state economies In the fields only weeds’d grow From the dust of Oklahoma Burnin’ desert in Arizona Sonoma vines of California Fields of plenty, hands empty No, don’t cry ‘bout where I’m goin’ Don’t ask me where I’ve been Breezes of change are blowin’ Here today, gone with the wind Hey, they call me Woody Guthrie I went roamin’, an' I went ramblin’ ‘Cross a land made for you and me Golden valleys, shinin’ ocean The grapes of wrath are growin’ Here today, gone with the wind Here today, gone, gone with the wind You know, the lion an’ the lamb Gonna lay down together in a promised land An’ the wicked leaders of Babylon’s whore Ain’t gonna study war no more Gonna bow to the sick an’ poor Ain’t gonna study war no more
