Red Dog Ash - Hello Florence Thompson Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Hello Florence Thompson
  • Looking at me through the years
  • With your tired eyes and dustbowl girls
  • How many shared your fears?
  • You came from Oklahoma
  • And crossed the San Joaquin
  • Till you landed on the Central Coast
  • Another migrant on your knees
  • Rain don't cut the red dirt ground
  • Dust so thick can't hear a sound
  • Another family West Coast bound
  • Seven hungry children
  • Just 32 years old
  • The kids they hide their faces
  • Reaching out for you to hold
  • Pictured in your poverty
  • I heard you were ashamed
  • That a photograph had stole your soul
  • And left you with your pain
  • Dorothea Lange and the S.F. News
  • Ran the photo just in time
  • To feed the labor camp down in Nipomo
  • But you'd walked on down the line
  • So hello Florence Thompson
  • Who never wanted fame
  • Just a stand-in for those Dust Bowl ghosts
  • Forgotten in their names
