Iris Dement - Banks Of Marble Lyrics

Send "Banks Of Marble" ringtone to your cell

I've traveled 'round this country

From shore to shining shore

It really made me wonder

The things i heard and saw

I saw the weary farmer

Plowing sod and loam

L heard the auction hammer

Just a-knocking down his home

But the banks are made of marble

With a guard at every door

And the vaults are stuffed with silver

That the farmer sweated for

I've seen the weary miner

Scrubbing coal dust from his back

I heard his children cryin'

"got no coal to heat the shack"

But the banks are made of marble

With a guard at every door

And the vaults are stuffed with silver

That the miner sweated for

I've seen my brothers working

Throughout this mighty land

L prayed we'd get together

And together make a stand

Then we might own those banks of marble

With a guard at every door

And we might share those vaults of silver

That we have sweated for
