Dear fellow human beings, mankind does not have another 2,000 years to learn to love his neighbor.
We must change the conditions of our life so love flows from it and good humor flows
from it as it would from a happy family.
Let us open our eyes and our ears to one another.
Let's exchange missionaries with each other.
Back and forth.
And so I'm here tonight, the most I can do is sing you some of the songs that I [D] know.
[G]
I was a teenager back in the Depression, the [C] 1930s, when I learned about the folk music
of my own country.
There was a lot of unemployment, a lot of labor trouble.
This song was made up during a coal miner's strike in Kentucky.
