Songs to hear, paintings to see, art to do // part 1

I’ve been interested in music, and in this piece. My parents and grand parents lived and probably listened to this song. My dad liked country music.  His mom played a guitar, from what my dad said about her. My mom learned to play the piano.

This is a great song.

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there, right there on the job

They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread

Once I built a railroad, I made it run
I made it run against time
Once I built a railroad and now it’s done
Buddy can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower way up to the sun
With bricks and mortar and lime
Once I built a railroad and now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum

Oh say, don’t you remember?
You called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say, don’t you remember? I was your pal

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Say, don’t you remember?
You called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say, don’t you remember? I was your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
