《Ludlow Massacre》歌词

[00:00:00] Ludlow Massacre - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:03] It was early springtime when the strike was on

[00:00:08] They drove us miners out of doors

[00:00:12] Out from the houses that the Company owned

[00:00:16] We moved into tents up at old Ludlow

[00:00:22] I was worried bad about my children

[00:00:27] Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge

[00:00:31] Every once in a while a bullet would fly

[00:00:35] Kick up gravel under my feet

[00:00:40] We were so afraid you kill our children

[00:00:44] Dug us a cave that was seven foot deep

[00:00:48] Carried our young ones and pregnant women

[00:00:52] Down inside the cave to sleep

[00:00:58] That very night your soldiers waited

[00:01:02] Until all us miners were asleep

[00:01:06] You snuck around our little tent town

[00:01:09] Soaked our tents with your kerosene

[00:01:14] You struck a match and in the blaze that started

[00:01:18] You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns

[00:01:22] I made a run for the children but the fire wall stopped me

[00:01:28] Thirteen children died from your guns

[00:01:33] I carried my blanket to a wire fence corner

[00:01:37] Watched the fire till the blaze died down

[00:01:42] I helped some people drag their belongings

[00:01:45] While your bullets killed us all around

[00:01:50] I never will forget the look on the faces

[00:01:54] Of the men and women that awful day

[00:01:59] When we stood around to preach their funerals

[00:02:03] And lay the corpses of the dead away

[00:02:08] We told the Colorado Governor to call the President

[00:02:14] Tell him call off his National Guard

[00:02:19] But the National Guard belonged to the Governor

[00:02:23] So he didn't try so very hard

[00:02:28] Our women from Trinidad they hauled some potatoes

[00:02:33] Up to Walsenburg in a little cart

[00:02:37] They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back

[00:02:41] And put a gun in every hand

[00:02:47] The state soldiers jumped us in a wire fence corners

[00:02:52] They not know we had these guns

[00:02:56] And the Red-neck Miners mowed down these troopers

[00:03:01] You should seen

[00:03:03] That poor boys run

[00:03:06] We took some cement and walled cave up

[00:03:10] Where you killed these thirteen children inside

[00:03:15] I said "God bless the Mine Workers' Union "

[00:03:21] And I hung my head and cried
