I pick up my life And take it on the train To Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake, Any place that is North and West— And not South.
I am fed up With Jim Crow laws, People who are cruel And afraid, Who lynch and run, Who are scared of me And me of them.
I pick up my life And take it away On a one-way ticket— Gone up North, Gone out West, Gone!
Migrant (Chicago) Daddy-o Buddy-o Works at the foundry.
Daddy-o Buddy-o Rides the State Street street car, Transfers to the West Side, Po...lish, Bohunk, Irish, Grabs a load of sunrise As he rides out on the prairie, Never knew DuSable, Has a lunch to carry.
Iron lifting iron Makes iron of chocolate muscles.
Iron lifting iron Makes hammer beat of drum beat And the heat Moulds and melts and moulds it On red heart become an anvil Until a glow is lighted In the eyes once soft benighted And the cotton field is frightened A thousand miles away.
They draw up restrictive covenants In Australia, too, they say.
Our President Takes up important matters Still left by V-J Day.
