0:27:17 > 0:27:21# And my Oklahoma home was blown away
0:27:22 > 0:27:27# Well, I planted wheat and oats Got some chickens and some shoats
0:27:28 > 0:27:32# Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
0:27:32 > 0:27:35# Got a mule to pull the plough
0:27:35 > 0:27:38# Got an old red muley cow
0:27:38 > 0:27:42# I also got a fancy mortgage on this place
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- # But it blowed away- Blowed away!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- # It blowed away- Blowed away!
0:27:48 > 0:27:52# All the crops that I planted blown away
0:27:53 > 0:27:58# Well, you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain
0:27:58 > 0:28:02# Everything except my mortgage blown away... #
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Come on!
0:28:25 > 0:28:30# Well, it looked so green and fair When I built my shanty there
0:28:30 > 0:28:33# I figured I was all set for life
0:28:34 > 0:28:40# I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
0:28:40 > 0:28:44# And I went to town to pick me out a wife
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- # She blowed away- Blowed away!
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- # She blowed away- Blowed away!
0:28:50 > 0:28:54# Yeah, my Oklahoma woman's blown away

0:29:01 > 0:29:05# My Oklahoma woman's blown away! # Swing that thing!
0:29:26 > 0:29:31# Then I was left alone just listenin' to the moan
0:29:31 > 0:29:35# Of the wind around the corners of my shack
0:29:36 > 0:29:41# I took off down the road where the south wind blowed
0:29:41 > 0:29:45# And I travelled with the wind upon my back
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- # I blowed away - Blowed away
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- # I blowed away - Blowed away
0:29:52 > 0:29:55# Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead?

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Eddie Manion! Clark Gayton! Curt Ramm!
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Art Baron!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Well done, gentlemen.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17This is a song called Jacob's Ladder.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18CROWD: Yeah!
0:35:18 > 0:35:20I always figured...
0:35:20 > 0:35:27Jacob - I read up on him the other night and he was somebody that was always doing it wrong in God's eyes,
0:35:27 > 0:35:34and God kept giving him things to do to work his way back into grace step by step,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and he'd screw up again step by step by step until...
0:35:37 > 0:35:41finally, I guess, he got sort of close,
0:35:41 > 0:35:42but um...
0:35:42 > 0:35:48So this is sort of like we are all climbing Jacob's ladder rung by rung - you can ask my wife.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50LAUGHTER
0:35:50 > 0:35:52But, um...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Here we go.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08# We are climbing Jacob's ladder
0:36:09 > 0:36:15# We are climbing Jacob's ladder... #
0:36:15 > 0:36:18This is not how this song begins.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22It doesn't begin remotely like this.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I was enjoying myself so tremendously.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It doesn't begin like that at all.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31It actually begins like this.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three!

0:43:09 > 0:43:12That's right!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18You know, I was feeling really good...
0:43:19 > 0:43:23..at the beginning of that Jacob's Ladder going...
0:43:24 > 0:43:28I'm just hanging and I'm thinking, "OK, when does the band come in?"
0:43:28 > 0:43:33Then I realised, "Wait! The band's already supposed to be in.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35"They're supposed to be in now!
0:43:35 > 0:43:37"Not later."
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
0:43:44 > 0:43:49This is one of the most important protest songs of all time.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51It's sung all over the world,
0:43:51 > 0:43:55wherever people fight for justice and equality.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57It was originally a Baptist hymn.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01I think it was brought into the labour movement in the '30s
0:44:01 > 0:44:03and popularised...
0:44:03 > 0:44:08by the civil rights workers in the 1950s.
0:44:08 > 0:44:14This was sung as recently as last week in the States at the immigration marches.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17It is We Shall Overcome.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54# Hey, we shall overcome
0:44:56 > 0:44:59# We shall overcome
0:45:00 > 0:45:05# We shall overcome some day
