Uncle Sam's Farm

(Stekert, Songs of a New York Lumberjack, Folkways)



Oh, of all the mighty nations

Of the east or of the west,

The glorious Yankee nation

Is the leader and the best.

There is room for everybody

And her banner is unfurled!

It's a general invitation

To the people of the world.

cho.:

Come along!

Make no delay,

Come from every nation,

Come from every way

The land here is broad enough,

So don't you feel alarmed.

Uncle Sam is rich enough

He'll give you all a farm.



The St. Lawrence marks our northern bound

Where crystal waters flow

And the Rio Grande our southern bound

'Way down in Mexico.

From the great Atlantic Ocean

Where the sun begins to dawn

'Till it peaks the Rocky mountains,

'Way out west in Oregon.



cho.



In the south they grow the cotton

In the west, the corn and pork

While New England's manufactories

They do the finer work.

And the little streams and waterfalls

That course along our hills

Are just the thing for washing wool

And driving cotton mills.
