《Strike!》歌词

[00:00:01] Strike - Ry Cooder

[00:00:20] Well I got off the train one evening in a little mining town

[00:00:31] I started walking up the main street when the sun was going down

[00:00:43] When I heard some voices singing

[00:00:49] So I went to see what for

[00:00:55] Might just be a birthday party

[00:01:00] And it might be room for just one more

[00:01:09] But it was miners and their families

[00:01:15] They had left the mine that day

[00:01:21] Walked out for safe conditions

[00:01:26] On strike for decent pay

[00:01:32] And they sang about their struggle

[00:01:38] And their spirit never failed

[00:01:43] Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale

[00:01:55] Union miners stand together

[00:02:01] Heed no operator's tale

[00:02:06] Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale

[00:02:23] All at once police came running

[00:02:29] They came running everywhere

[00:02:34] They broke up that miner's meeting

[00:02:40] And they carried everyone to jail

[00:02:46] But the miners kept on singing and they sang the whole night through

[00:02:57] When the sun rose in the morning I had learned that miners song

[00:03:11] Now the judge he asked the police captain

[00:03:17] What's that red cat doin' here

[00:03:22] Get all the reds off the streets

[00:03:27] Sir was your orders loud and clear

[00:03:34] Now they turned me out of the jailhouse back door

[00:03:39] But I wouldn't leave my miner friends

[00:03:45] I jumped back to that jailhouse winder and I sang that miner songs again

[00:03:57] Union miners stand together

[00:04:02] Heed no operator's tale

[00:04:08] Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale
