But the banks are made of marble with a guard at every door and the vaults are stuffed with silver that the miner sweated for I saw the seaman standing Idly by the shore. I heard the owner saying, Got no work for you no more. But the banks are made of marble, With a guard at every door, And the vaults are stuffed with silver, That the seaman sweated for. I've seen my brothers working throughout this mighty land l prayed we'd get together and together make a stand Then we' ll own those banks of marble with a guard at every door and we share those vaults of silver that we have sweated for.
