Well sung McGrath! I would venture to guess that the verse you posted is the least sung verse of that fine folk anthem...

BTW, did you know that the origional song was a little different? The verses were the same, but the last line was "God blessed America for me". Also, he wrote it as a satire of "God Bless America" by Irving Berlin...

As they stood there hungry
I stood there wonderin'
if God blessed America for me
