Down into the earth went the plow
Now its the U.S.A.
That planted and harvested the food that fed
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL--

Down into the earth went the plow

Came the foundries, came the railroads.

Crack went the whips that drove the horses
Splash into the rivers and the seas went the boat-hulls

A long time ago, but not too long ago, a man said:
Now its Manhattan, Chicago,
Indentured hands, adventurous hands,
That hewed and shaped the rooftops of America.
AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
And the sailboats and the steamboats,
Out of labor-white hands and black hands-
Labor! Out of labor came villages
