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
