I’m a lowly worker for very little pay Have to get up early every day Just to get some pennies in my hand I made some new friends and they tell me This is the land of opportunity I could rise above if I make my stand I could be a king in my new land Could have everything in my new land I could take some threads and make a coat, Have my own shop and I could vote I think I want to stay in my new land I never knew that freedom could be so sweet If I had a girl my life would be complete We could walk the beaches, hand in hand We could build a house with a white gate I could walk the dog and we could stay up late Bringing up the baby would be so grand I could be a king in my new land Could have everything in my new land I could take some threads and make a coat, Have my own shop and I could vote I think I’ll make a note to change my plan In my new land In my new land Learning how to sing in my new land My new land, my new land
