《Bracero(Live)》歌词

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

[00:00:04] Wade into the river

[00:00:08] Through the rippling shallow watter

[00:00:12] Steal across the thirsty border bracero

[00:00:19] Come bring your hungry bodies

[00:00:23] To the golden fields of plenty

[00:00:27] From a peso to a penny bracero

[00:00:35] Oh Welcome to California

[00:00:41] Where the friendly farmer

[00:00:45] Will take care of you

[00:00:50] Come labor for your mother

[00:00:54] Your father and your brother

[00:00:57] For your sister and your lover bracero

[00:01:05] Come pick the fruit of yellow

[00:01:08] Break the flower from the berry

[00:01:12] Purple grapes will fill your belly bracero

[00:01:19] Oh Welcome to California

[00:01:27] Where the friendly farmer will take care of you

[00:01:36] And the sun will bite your body

[00:01:40] As the dust will draw you thristy

[00:01:43] While your muscles beg for mercy bracero

[00:01:51] In the shade of your sombrero

[00:01:55] Drop your sweat upon the soil

[00:01:58] Like the fruit your youth can spoil bracero

[00:02:06] Oh Welcome to California

[00:02:13] Where the friendly farmer will take care of you

[00:02:23] When the weary night embraces

[00:02:27] Sleep in shacks that could be cages

[00:02:31] They will take it from your wages bracero

[00:02:39] Come sing about tomorrow with a jingle of the dollar

[00:02:46] And forget your crooked collar bracero

[00:02:54] Oh Welcome to California

[00:03:01] Where the friendly farmer will take care of you

[00:03:11] And the local men are lazy

[00:03:15] And they make too much of trouble

[00:03:18] Besides we'd have to pay the double bracero

[00:03:26] But if you feel you're fallin'

[00:03:30] If you find the pace is killing

[00:03:33] There are others who are willing bracero

[00:03:40] Oh Welcome to California

[00:03:48] Where the friendly farmer will take care of you
