“Times Is Gettin Harder”: Blues of the Great Migrationhttp://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5333/Times is gettin' harder,Money’s gettin' scarce.Soon as I gather my cotton and corn,I’m bound to leave this place.White folks sittin' in the parlor,Eatin' that cake and cream,Nigger’s way down to the kitchen,Squabblin' over turnip greens.Times is gettin' harder,Money’s gettin' scarce.Soon as I gather my cotton and corn,I’m bound to leave this place.Me and my brother was out.Thought we’d have some fun.He stole three chickens.We began to run.

“One-Way Ticket” By: Langston Hughs I pick up my life, And take it with me, And I put it down in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Scranton, Any place that is North and East, And not Dixie. I pick up my life And take it on the train, To Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake Any place that is North and West, And not South. I am fed up With Jim Crow laws, People who are cruel And afraid, Who lynch and run, Who are scared of me And me of them I pick up my life And take it away On a one-way ticket- Gone up North Gone out West Gone http://brbl-archive.library.yale.edu/exhibitions/langstonhughes/audio/Track01.mp3 Poetry
