Lyrics I Took A Walk - Shawn Phillips
I
took
a
walk
through
the
fields
of
America
I'll
tell
you
what
I
saw
in
the
middle
of
the
garbage
and
erotica
I
saw
a
man
in
pain
crying
to
be
free
Children
in
the
rain,
yelling
out
their
glee
Well,
singers
on
the
plain,
fused
in
harmony
Hey,
oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
People
I
have
seen
in
the
streets
and
communities
Running
in
a
mortal
fear
of
the
violence
and
its
companies
I
saw
a
man
in
hand
flying
to
the
moon
Well,
a
rich
man
of
the
lands
dying
all
too
soon
I
say
people
in
the
bands
you
really
ought
to
learn
this
tune
Hey,
oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
I
took
a
walk
through
the
fields
of
America
I'll
tell
you
what
I
saw
I
saw
a
murder
in
a
place
called
Attica
I
saw
a
man
called
power
Who
said
you've
got
to
fit
my
vision
I
saw
a
man
called
law
Said
if
you
don't
I'm
going
to
put
you
in
the
prison
I
saw
a
man
called
peace
Who
was
shaking
with
the
laughter
of
derision
Hey,
oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America,
they're
gonna
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America,
they're
gonna
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
I
took
a
walk
through
the
fields
of
America
I'll
tell
you
what
I
saw
I
saw
the
blizzards
and
the
tropics
I
saw
mountain
streams
running
free
and
clear,
Lord
Creatures
of
my
dreams
so
beautiful
I
shed
my
tears
You
great
and
wondrous
land
I
wonder
why
you
cannot
hear
me
now
Hey,
oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America,
they
want
to
love
you
Please
be
true
to
thee
Oh
America
America,
America,
America,
America,
America
America,
America,
America,
America,
America
America,
America,
America,
America,
America
