I've seen those Wheat fields out in Kansas in Iowa, I've watched the tall Corn grow Seen 'em pickin' fruit in Florida Watched 'em diggin' 'Taters up in Idaho I've seen the factories in Detroit I've seen a small country general store And big or small, I've seen it all >From A Boxcar Door. I've seen the Coal Mines in Kentucky I've seen the Steel Mills in Birmingham I've seen the Appalachians, seen Hoover And I've seen ev'ry other dam I've seen the great Salt Lake in Utah I've heard the mighty N-i-ag-ra roar Yea! big or small, I've seen it all >From A Boxcar Door. I've seen the great Potomac River The wide Missouri and the O-hi-o I've seen the Colorado I've watched the mighty Mississipi flow I've seen the great Atlantic Ocean I've seen California's golden shore You know, big or small, I've seen it all >From A Boxcar Door. I've seen the Black man in the Ghettos On the Reservation, I've watched the Navajo I've seen the migrant workers In the fields from Maine down to Mexico I've seen the rich man in his Penthouse The Shantys and the Shacks of the poor Yea! big or small, I've seen it all >From A Boxcar Door. But, my travels are not over There's lots more that I've just gotta see Ev'ry day's a new adventure And I thank the Lord for letting me be free When I hop aboard a Boxcar And hear that mighty engine start to roar You know, big or small, I'll see you all >From A Boxcar Door.
