Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who will take a leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plow?
Who will take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Don't look now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't look now, someone's done your prayin', too
Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who will take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Well, don't look now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't look now, someone's done your prayin', too
Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who will take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
