Lyrics for Bound For Glory by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Bound For Glory | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | D A7
He walked all over his own growin' land
D
From the New York island to the California sand
G D
He
saw all the people that needed to be seen
A7 G
D
Planted all the grass where it needed to be green
Em A D
And now he's bound for a glory all his own
Em A D
And now he is bound
for glory
He wrote and he sang and he rode upon the rails
And he got on board when the
sailors had to sail
He said all the words that needed to be said
He fed all the hungry souls
that needed to be fed
(chorus)
He sang in our streets and he sang in our
halls
And he was always there when the unions gave a call
He did all the jobs that needed to
be done
He always stood his ground when a smaller man would run
(chorus)
And its
Pastures of Plenty wrote the dustbowl balladeer
And This Land is Your Land, he wanted us to
hear
And the risin' of the unions will be sung about again
And the Deportees live on
through the power of his pen
(chorus)
Now they sing out his praises on every distant
shore
But so few remember what he was fightin' for
Oh why sing the songs and forget about
the aim?
He wrote them for a reason, why not sing them for the same
