Gene Stosich - Northern Star Lyrics

You work out in the fields
Till the sweat fills your eyes
You break your back you never lack
For the toil and the strife
You're not the man with the money
You're not the man who holds the knife
You're the man when the day is over
Has the dreams of a better life

Northern Star keep on shining
Shining through the night
Northern Star keep on shining
I don't know where I'll be tonight

I might get caught before the border
They might shoot me in the back
Cut me up in tiny pieces
Bring me home in a gunnysack

Northern Star keep on shining
Shining through the night
Northern Star keep on shining
Be my beacon through the night
