I Will Love You All My Life - Big Jim
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen
There he got his parole
After four long years on a man killing charge
Tom Joad come a walking down the road
Poor boy
Tom Joad come a walking down the road
Tom Joad he met a truck driving man
There he caught him a ride
He said: 'I just got loose from
McAlester's Pen On a charge called Homicide
A charge called Homicide '
That truck rolled away
In a cloud of dust
Tommy turned his face toward home
He met Preacher Casey
And they had a little drink
But they found
That his family they was gone
He found that his family
They was gone
He found his mother's old fashion shoe
Found his daddy's hat
And he found little Muley and Muley said:
'They've been tractored out by the cats
They've been tractored out by the cats '
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbors farm
Found his family
They took Preacher Casey
And loaded in a car
And his mother said 'We got to git away '
His mother said 'We got to get away '
Now the twelve of the Joads
Made a mighty heavy load
But Grandpa Joad did cry
He picked up a handful of land in his hand
Said: 'I'm staying with the farm till I die
Yes I'm staying with my farm till I die '
They fed him short ribs
And coffee and soothing syrup
And Grandpa Joad did die
They buried Grandpa Joad
By the side of the road
Buried Grandma on the California side
They buried Grandma on the California side
They stood on a Mountain
And they looked to the West
And it looked like the promised land
That bright green valley with a
River running through
There was work for every single hand
They thought
There was work for every single hand
