La versione di Agnes “Sis” Cunningham composta nel 1937 a qua...

THERE IS MEAN THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS LAND

There is mean things happening in this land;
There is mean things happening in this land.
Oh, the rich man boasts and brags,
While the poor man goes in rags,
There is mean things happening in this land.

There is mean things happening in this land,
There is mean things happening in this land,
Too much cotton in our sacks,
So we have none on our backs.
There is mean things happening in this land.

There is mean things happening in this land,
There is mean things happening in this land,
To much groceries on the shelves,
So we have none for ourselves,
There is mean things happening in this land.

There is mean things happening in this land;
There is mean things happening in this land.
Oh, the rich man boasts and brags,
While the poor man goes in rags,
There is mean things happening in this land.

THERE ARE STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
Oh, the rich man boasts and brags
While the poor man goes in rags
There are strange things happening in this land.

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
Oh, the farmer cannot eat
'cause he's raised too much wheat
There are strange things happening in this land.

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
Too much cotton in our sacks
So we have none on our backs
There are strange things happening in this land.

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
Lots of groceries on the shelves
But we have none for ourselves
There are strange things happening in this land.

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
Oh, we'll have even less to eat
When the drums commence to beat
There are strange things happening in this land.

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
But when working men refuse
To put on their old war shoes
There'll be good things happening in this land.

There are strange things happening in this land
There are strange things happening in this land
When the workers take a stand
And unite in a solid band
There'll be good things happening in this land.
