《Bracero》歌词

[00:00:00] Bracero (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:08] Wade into the river

[00:00:11] Through the rippling shallow watter

[00:00:15] Steal across the thirsty border bracero

[00:00:23] Come bring your hungry bodies

[00:00:26] To the golden fields of plenty

[00:00:30] From a peso to a penny bracero

[00:00:38] Oh welcome to california

[00:00:45] Where the friendly farmer

[00:00:48] Will take care of you

[00:00:53] Come labor for your mother

[00:00:57] For your father and your brother

[00:01:01] For your sister and your lover bracero

[00:01:08] Come pick the fruit of yellow

[00:01:12] Break the flower from the berry

[00:01:16] Purple grapes will fill your belly bracero

[00:01:22] Oh welcome to california

[00:01:30] Where the friendly farmer

[00:01:34] Will take care of you

[00:01:39] And the sun will bite your body

[00:01:43] As the dust will draw you thristy

[00:01:47] While your muscles beg for mercy bracero

[00:01:54] In the shade of your sombrero

[00:01:58] Drop your sweat upon the soil

[00:02:02] Like the fruit your youth can spoil bracero

[00:02:08] Oh welcome to california

[00:02:17] Where the friendly farmer

[00:02:20] Will take care of you

[00:02:27] When the weary night embraces

[00:02:31] Sleep in shacks that could be cages

[00:02:34] They will take it from your wages bracero

[00:02:42] Come sing about tomorrow

[00:02:46] With a jingle of the dollar

[00:02:49] And forget your crooked collar bracero

[00:02:56] Oh welcome to california

[00:03:04] Where the friendly farmer

[00:03:08] Will take care of you

[00:03:14] And the local men are lazy

[00:03:18] And they make too much of trouble

[00:03:22] Besides we have to pay the double bracero

[00:03:30] But if you feel you're falling

[00:03:33] If you find the pace is killing

[00:03:37] There are others who are willing bracero

[00:03:44] Oh welcome to california

[00:03:52] Where the friendly farmer

[00:03:55] Will take care of you
