Northern Star

You work out in the fields Till the sweat fills your eyes You break your back you never lack For the toil and the strife You're not the man with the money You're not the man who holds the knife You're the man when the day is over Has the dreams of a better life Northern Star keep on shining Shining through the night Northern Star keep on shining I don't know where I'll be tonight I might get caught before the border They might shoot me in the back Cut me up in tiny pieces Bring me home in a gunnysack Northern Star keep on shining Shining through the night Northern Star keep on shining Be my beacon through the night
