Statue Of Liberty Songtext

I laid down my things It was 1918 And I walked out & went across the sea To a place where I've heard a man could be free I've heard about the Statue Of Liberty Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty Gazing out over seven seas A torchlight of truth & equality Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty I landed in the north And I hitched across the land I couldn't find a job I speant all that I had I was just about to give up hope And turn back When I thought about the Statue Of Liberty I was up in the French speaking part of Canada Looking for work in an electrical plant There was thousands of men there Who's luck had run bad A foreman was shouting No English, no place So how about a Welshwan I shouted back He said come here brother There's work for you here Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty Gazing out over seven seas A torchlight of truth & equality Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty I finally crossed the border Into ?Ushitah road? Got a job working for the telephone firm And the first thing I did was save up my fair home When I thought about the Statue Of Liberty Now the fortune I'd dreamt of I never did see And after three years I decided to leave And as I set sail from New York City I saw the Stature Of Liberty Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty Gazing out over seven seas A torchlight of truth & equality Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty When I got home from my travelling The best sight I saw was the Menai bridge I've got no regrets About the life I have lived 'Cause I saw the Statue Of Liberty 'Cause I saw the Statue Of Liberty Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty Gazing out over seven seas A torchlight of truth & equality Oh there is the Statue Of Liberty
