Skeletons of Quinto Lyrics by The Folksmen

A Mighty Wind - The Album

2003

[Verse 1]
I worked the fields my father worked
From dawn until setting sun
My calloused hands and wind-burned face
Have marked me as a man
Who has no voice, no rights, no hope
No place to call his own
And the skeletons of Quinto call me home
[Verse 2]
The silver tentacles of the moon’s rays haunt me
The deathly silence of the mountains chill me to the bone
And the skeletons of Quinto call me home
[Verse 3]
If I lived to be a hundred, I won’t know mе papa’s plight
The cruelty of the mastеr’s whip
The horrors of the night
He braved them all and stood his ground
The bravest ever known
And the skeletons of Quinto call me home
[Indecipherable Spanish]
[Verse 4]
I know that somehow, in the world
The workers must be free
The toil and sweat, and tyranny
The fascist jeu d’esprit
Will only serve to keep us down
And make the bourgeoisie
And the skeletons of Quinto call me home
