AMERICAN FOLKSONG

 

AMERICAN FOLKSONG

Rhubarb sky

Piece of pie

Silken corn

Break of morn

Let’s make an American folk song.

Railroad strike up all night

raspberry sky

Wonder why

Square dance spree

Not enough for me

Slavery’s stain,

So ashamed.

Midwest trains

Autumn rains

Ruin the crops

Turnip tops

Peach grove freeze

On our knees

Riverboat sorrows

Come tomorrow

We’ll be free

You will see

Cornbread please

Mess of greens

Bacon fat

Where it’s at

Grief to joy

Pain alloyed

Boy oh boy

Love will reign

Christ is gain

Nation changed

Rearranged

Buttermilk sky

God is nigh.

Every tear from your eyes

He will wipe away.
