This may have been the first ever protest song – it became the anthem of the Great Depression in the United States. It tells the story of a worker who has helped build the country with his labor, but finds himself out of work in the tough times. – More Info

Once I built a railroad made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once I built the tower to the Sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle de dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say don’t you remember they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say don’t you remember I’m your pal
Brother can you spare a dime?
