《Let Them Wear Their Watches Fine》歌词

[00:00:00] Let Them Wear Their Watches Fine - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:00] Written by：Seeger

[00:00:00] I lived in a town way down south

[00:00:05] By the name of Buffalo

[00:00:08] Worked in the mill with the rest of the trash

[00:00:12] As we're often called you know

[00:00:17] You factory folks who sing this rhyme

[00:00:21] Will surely understand

[00:00:24] The reason why I love you so

[00:00:30] Is I'm a factory hand

[00:00:34] While standing here between my looms

[00:00:38] You know I lose no time

[00:00:42] To keep my shuttles in a whizz

[00:00:47] And write this little rhyme

[00:00:51] We rise up early in the morn'

[00:00:55] And work all day real hard

[00:00:59] To buy our little meat and bread

[00:01:04] And sugar tea and lard

[00:01:08] We work from weekend to weekend

[00:01:12] And never lose a day

[00:01:16] And when that awful payday comes

[00:01:20] We draw our little pay

[00:01:24] We then go home on payday night

[00:01:28] And sit down in a chair

[00:01:31] The merchant raps upon the door

[00:01:36] He's come to get his share

[00:01:40] When all our little debts are paid

[00:01:44] And nothing left behind

[00:01:47] We turn our pockets wrong side out

[00:01:51] But not a cent can we find

[00:01:56] We rise up early in the morn'

[00:02:00] And toil from soon to late

[00:02:04] We have no time to primp or fix

[00:02:08] And dress right up to date

[00:02:12] Our children they grow up unlearned

[00:02:15] No time to go to school

[00:02:19] Almost before they have learned to walk

[00:02:23] They have learned to spin or spool

[00:02:28] The bossman jerks them round and round

[00:02:32] And whistles very keen

[00:02:35] I'll tell you what the factory kids

[00:02:39] Are really treated mean

[00:02:43] The folks in town who dress so fine

[00:02:47] And spend their money free

[00:02:51] Will hardly look at a factory hand

[00:02:56] Who dresses like you and me

[00:03:00] As we go walking down the street

[00:03:04] All wrapped in lint and strings

[00:03:07] They call us fools and factory trash

[00:03:12] And other lowdown things

[00:03:16] Well let them wear their watches fine

[00:03:21] Their rings and pearly strings

[00:03:25] When the day of judgement comes

[00:03:30] We'll make 'em shed their pretty things
