《Fare Ye Well， Old Ely Branch》歌词

[00:00:00] Fare Ye Well, Old Ely Branch - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:03] Fare ye well old Ely Branch

[00:00:06] Fare ye well I say

[00:00:08] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:00:11] And I'm a-goin' away

[00:00:15] When we had a strike in Ely this spring

[00:00:17] These words ol' Hughes did say

[00:00:20] Come along boys go back to work

[00:00:22] We'll give you the two weeks' pays

[00:00:25] When they put on their mining clothes

[00:00:27] Hard work again they tried

[00:00:30] And when ol' payday rolled around

[00:00:32] They found ol' Hughes had lied

[00:00:34] So fare ye well old Ely Branch

[00:00:37] Fare ye well I say

[00:00:39] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:00:43] And I'm a-goin' away

[00:00:47] When Hughes thinks his mines was goin' to stop

[00:00:49] A sight to see him frown

[00:00:51] There's gas enough in old Hughes

[00:00:54] To blow these mountains down

[00:00:56] Oh take your children outta Ely Branch

[00:00:59] Before they cry for bread

[00:01:01] For when ol' Hughes' debts are paid

[00:01:03] He won't be worth a thread

[00:01:06] So fare ye well old Ely Branch

[00:01:08] Fare ye well I say

[00:01:10] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:01:13] And I'm a-goin' away

[00:01:24] Now Hughes claims he owns more mines than these

[00:01:27] He says he gots money to lend

[00:01:30] But when ol' payday rolls around

[00:01:32] He can't pay off his men

[00:01:34] I'd rather be in Pine Grove jail

[00:01:37] With my back all covered in lice

[00:01:40] Than to be in old Hughes' coal mines

[00:01:43] Diggin' coal at Hughes' price

[00:01:46] I think John Yaeger's a very nice man

[00:01:49] He's the same ol' John every day

[00:01:52] But a man can't live can't live on

[00:01:53] Dried beef and tomatoes an' I'm a-goin' away

[00:01:57] Fare ye well old Ely Branch

[00:01:59] Fare ye well I say

[00:02:01] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:02:05] And I'm a-goin' away
