《Ludlow Massacre》歌词

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

[00:00:04] It was early springtime when the strike was on

[00:00:09] 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

[00:00:23] 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

[00:00:36] Kick up gravel under my feet

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

[00:00:45] We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep

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

[00:00:53] Down inside the cave to sleep

[00:00:59] That very night your soldiers waited

[00:01:03] Until all us miners were asleep

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

[00:01:10] Soaked our tents with your kerosene

[00:01:15] You struck a match and in the blaze that started

[00:01:19] You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns

[00:01:23] I made a run for the children but the fire wall stopped me

[00:01:29] Thirteen children died from your guns

[00:01:34] I carried my blanket to a wire fence corner

[00:01:38] Watched the fire till the blaze died down

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

[00:01:46] While your bullets killed us all around

[00:01:51] I never will forget the look on the faces

[00:01:55] Of the men and women that awful day

[00:02:00] When we stood around to preach their funerals

[00:02:04] And lay the corpses of the dead away

[00:02:09] We told the Colorado Governor to call the President

[00:02:15] Tell him to call off his National Guard

[00:02:20] But the National Guard belonged to the Governor

[00:02:24] So he didn't try so very hard

[00:02:29] Our women from Trinidad they hauled some potatoes

[00:02:34] Up to Walsenburg in a little cart

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

[00:02:42] And they put a gun in every hand

[00:02:48] The state soldiers jumped us in a wire fence corners

[00:02:53] They did not know we had these guns

[00:02:57] And the Red-neck Miners mowed down these troopers

[00:03:01] You should have seen those poor boys run

[00:03:07] We took some cement and walled that cave up

[00:03:11] Where you killed these thirteen children inside

[00:03:16] I said "God bless the Mine Workers' Union "

[00:03:22] And then I hung my head and cried
