Letras de American Land

Alright, hello New York
Hit it, Larry
Alright, we got a immigrant song for New York City
Come on
One, two
Now

What is this land America? So many travel there
I′m going now while I'm still young, my darling, meet me there
Wish me luck, my lovely, I′ll send for you when I can
And we'll make our home in the American Land

Over there the women wear silk and satin to their knees
And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the rivers straight into your hands
If you make your home in the American Land

There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there′s gutters lined in song
Dear, I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There′s treasure for the taking, for any hard-working man
Who'll make his home in the American Land

I docked at Ellis Island in the city of light and spire
I wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire
We made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two hands
And I made our home in the American Land

There′s diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear, I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There′s treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
Whoo!

The McNicholas, the Posalskis, the Smiths, Zerillis, too
The Blacks, the Irish, Italians, the Germans and the Jews
There were the Niggers, the Asians, Arabs miles from home
Come across the water or the fire down below

They died building the railroads, worked to bones and skin
They died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind
They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dying now
The hands that built the country we′re always trying to keep down

There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear, I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There′s treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who′ll make his home in the American land
Who'll make his home in the American land
Who′ll make his home in the American land, aw!

For all you travellers out there
