jarama valley

Woody Guthrie

Thereââ?¬â?¢s a valley in Spain called Jarama
Itââ?¬â?¢s a place that we all know so well
It was there that we fought against the Fascists
We saw a peacful valley turn to hell

From this valley they say we are going
But donââ?¬â?¢t hasten to bid us adieu
Even though we lost the battle at Jarama
Weââ?¬â?¢ll set this valley free 'fore weââ?¬â?¢re through

We were men of the Lincoln Battalion
Weââ?¬â?¢re proud of the fight that we made
We know that you people of the valley
Will remember our Lincoln Brigade

From this valley they say we are going
But donââ?¬â?¢t hasten to bid us adieu
Even though we lost the battle at Jarama
Weââ?¬â?¢ll set this valley free 'fore weââ?¬â?¢re through

You will never find peace with these Fascists
Youââ?¬â?¢ll never find friends such as we
So remember that valley of Jarama
And the people thatââ?¬â?¢ll set that valley free

From this valley they say we are going
Donââ?¬â?¢t hasten to bid us adieu
Even though we lost the battle at Jarama
Weââ?¬â?¢ll set this valley free 'fore weââ?¬â?¢re through

All this world is like this valley called Jarama
So green and so bright and so fair
No fascists can dwell in our valley
Nor breathe in our new freedomââ?¬â?¢s air

From this valley they say we are going
Do not hasten to bid us adieu
Even though we lost the battle at Jarama
Weââ?¬â?¢ll set this valley free 'fore weââ?¬â?¢re through
