Salt of the Earth

Let's drink to the hard working people Let's drink to the lowly of birth Raise your glass to the good and the evil Let's drink to the salt of the earth Say a prayer for the common foot soldier Spare a thought for his back breaking work Say a prayer for his wife and his children Who turn the fires and who still till the earth When I see these crowd of faces A swirling mass of black and gray and white They look so real to me But they look so much [Incomprehensible] Raise your glass to the hard working people Let's drink to the uncounted heads Let's think of the wavering millions Who need leaders but get gamblers instead Spare a thought for the stay at home voter His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows See the parading of gray suited grafters The world is charming and they don't want to know And when I see these crowd of faces A swirling mass of gray and black and white They look so real to me And they look so much [Incomprehensible] Let's drink to the hard working people Let's think of the lowly of birth Spare a thought for the rag taggy people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the hard working people Let's think of the lowly of birth Spare a thought for the rag taggy people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the people Let's drink to the salt of the earth --- Salt of the Earth - Judy Collins
