As the evening shadows fall

was the year it all began

Deadly pains of hunger
D Em
Drove a million from the land

They journeyed not for glory

A voyage of survival

Across the stormy sea

Verse 2: Some of them knew fortune
Some of them knew fame
More of them knew hardship
Died upon the plain
They spread throughout the nation
They rode the railroad cars
Brought their songs and music
To ease their lonely hearts
