The message of this song is that the man does not have a home anymore during the hard times no matter how hard he works. The phrase that best express the message is from this lyrics from the song “...I mined in your mines and I gathered in your corn I been working…” I find this song not as descriptive as the last, but words that brought out a meaning for the poor man who has no home was word and phrases like trod, wandrin' worker, and dusty road. The tone of the song has a negative effect based on the words used stranded, poor, and died. It is important for students today to explore Woody Guthrie’s music to benefit them in learning what the conditions of people’s lives were once like before and during the Great Depression and the Dust
