[00:13.44]I packed up my suitcase and left the old farm
[00:19.55]I promised my papa I'd come to no harm
[00:26.23]And I went to the city where I was employed
[00:32.98]In a firm of accountants as an office boy.
[00:50.59]I fetched and I carried, I watched and I learned
[00:56.51]And slowly but surely I rose through the firm.
[01:03.54]But then I discovered my colleagues one day
[01:10.45]Massaging the figures for personal gain
[01:16.38]I said "I'll not wallow in this house of shame"
[01:26.35]I'll plough my own furrow, I'll go my own way.
[01:46.78]Gravely I listened to Reverend McBride
[01:52.01]Down at the mission house each Friday night.
[01:59.25]Heavenís salvation for those who know best,
[02:05.78]Hell and damnation for all of the rest.
[02:22.97]Try as I might I could not understand
[02:30.20]Why The Almighty's all-merciful hand
[02:35.35]Should cast away those whose only mistake
[02:42.87]Was never to know the Christian faith
[02:49.44]The stars that we follow can lead us astray
[02:59.29]I'll plough my own furrow, I'll go my own way
[03:25.58]I fled from the capitalís bourgeois malaise
[03:33.26]And trekked through the wilderness for fourteen days
[03:38.74]'Til I found the guerillas camped high in the hills
[03:45.25]I asked Comrade Diaz whom I should kill.
[04:03.33]I crept into town with a knife in my teeth
[04:10.25]And entered the home of the Chief of Police
[04:16.81]I stood at his bedside and raised up my blade
[04:23.16]But then I looked to the crib where his little one lay
[04:29.88]You murder tomorrow by killing today
[04:40.30]I'll plough my own furrow, I'll go my own way.
