I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe

and strong

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves of

work

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the

deckhand singing on the steamboat deck
