《My Children Are Seven In Number》歌词

[00:00:00] My children are seven in number

[00:00:05] We have to sleep four in a bed

[00:00:10] I'm striking with my fellow workers

[00:00:15] To get them more clothes and more bread

[00:00:20] Shoes, shoes, we're striking for pairs of shoes

[00:00:29] Shoes, shoes, we're striking for pairs of shoes

[00:00:39] Pellagra is cramping my stomach

[00:00:43] My wife is sick with TB

[00:00:48] My babies are starving for sweet milk

[00:00:52] Oh there's so much sickness for me

[00:00:58] Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk

[00:01:07] Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk

[00:01:15] I'm needing a shave and a haircut

[00:01:20] But barbers I cannot afford

[00:01:24] My wife cannot wash without soapsuds

[00:01:28] And she had to borrow a board

[00:01:33] Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap

[00:01:42] Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap

[00:01:51] My house is a shack on the hillside

[00:01:56] It's floors are unpainted and bare

[00:02:00] I haven't a screen to my windows

[00:02:05] And carbide cans do for a chair

[00:02:10] Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes

[00:02:19] Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes

[00:02:28] They shot Barney Graham our leader

[00:02:33] His spirit abides with us still

[00:02:38] The spirit of strength for justice

[00:02:42] No bullets have power to kill

[00:02:48] Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today

[00:02:56] Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today

[00:03:04] Oh miners go on with the union

[00:03:09] Oh miners go on with the fight

[00:03:14] For we're in the struggle for justice

[00:03:18] And we're in the struggle for right

[00:03:23] Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all

[00:03:33] Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all
