What is this land of America, so many travel thereI'm going now while I'm still young, my darling meet me thereWish me luck my lovely, I'll send for you when I canAnd we'll make our home in the American land Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their kneesAnd children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the treesGold comes rushing out the river straight into your handsIf you make your home in the American land There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in songDear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night longThere's treasure for the taking, for any hard working manWho will make his home in the American land I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spireI wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fireWe made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two handsAnd I made my home in the American land There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in songDear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night longThere's treasure for the taking, for any hard working manWho will make his home in the American land The McNicholas, the Posalski's, the Smiths, Zerillis tooThe Blacks, the Irish, the Italians, the Germans and the JewsThe Puerto Ricans, illegals, the Asians, Arabs miles from homeCome across the water with a fire down below They died building the railroads, worked to bones and skinThey died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the windThey died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dyin' nowThe hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in songDear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night longThere's treasure for the taking, for any hard working manWho will make his home in the American landWho will make his home in the American landWho will make his home in the American land
