《Song for Bridges》歌词

[00:00:00] Song for Bridges - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:04] Let me tell you of a sailor Harry Bridges is his name

[00:00:10] An honest union leader who the bosses tried to frame

[00:00:15] He left home in Australia to sail the seas around

[00:00:20] He sailed across the ocean to land in 'Frisco town

[00:00:25] There was only a company union the bosses had their way

[00:00:30] A worker had to stand in line for a lousy dollar a day

[00:00:35] When up spoke Harry Bridges "Us workers got to get wise

[00:00:39] Our wives and kids will starve to death if we don't get organized "

[00:00:44] Oh the FBI is worried the bosses they are scared

[00:00:49] They can't deport six million men they know

[00:00:54] And we're not going to let them send Harry over the sea

[00:00:59] We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C I O

[00:01:06] They built a big bonfire by the Matson lines that night

[00:01:11] They threw their fink books in it and they said "We're gonna fight

[00:01:15] You've got to pay a livin' wage or we're gonna take a walk "

[00:01:20] They told it to the bosses but the bosses wouldn't talk

[00:01:26] They said "There's only one way left to get that contract signed "

[00:01:31] And all around the waterfront they threw their picket line

[00:01:37] They called it Bloody Thursday the fifth day of July

[00:01:41] For a hundred men were wounded and two were left to die

[00:01:46] Oh the FBI is worried the bosses they are scared

[00:01:51] They can't deport six million men they know

[00:01:55] And we're not going to let them send Harry over the sea

[00:02:00] We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C I O

[00:02:07] Now that was seven years ago and in the time since then

[00:02:12] Harry's organized thousands more and made them union men

[00:02:16] "We must try to bribe him" the shipping bosses said

[00:02:21] And if he won't accept a bribe we'll say that he's a red "

[00:02:27] The bosses brought a trial to deport him over the sea

[00:02:31] But the judge said "He's an honest man I got to set him free "

[00:02:36] Then they brought another trial to frame him if they can

[00:02:40] But right by Harry Bridges stands every working man

[00:02:45] Oh the FBI is worried the bosses they are scared

[00:02:50] They can't deport six million men they know

[00:02:54] And we're not going to let them send Harry over the sea

[00:02:59] We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C I O
