《The 1913 Massacre》歌词

[00:00:00] The 1913 Massacre - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:05] Take a trip with me in 1913

[00:00:10] To Calumet Michigan

[00:00:12] In the copper country

[00:00:15] I'll take you to a place

[00:00:17] Called Italian Hall

[00:00:20] And the miners are having

[00:00:24] Their big Christmas Ball

[00:00:28] I'll take in a door

[00:00:30] And up a high stairs

[00:00:33] Singing and dancing is

[00:00:34] Heard everywhere

[00:00:37] I'll let you shake hands

[00:00:39] With the people you see

[00:00:43] And watch the kids dance

[00:00:47] Round that big Christmas tree

[00:00:52] You ask about work and you ask about pay

[00:00:56] They'll tell you they

[00:00:57] Make less a dollar a day

[00:01:02] Working the copper claims

[00:01:03] Risking their lives

[00:01:06] So it's fun to spend Christmas

[00:01:09] With children and wives

[00:01:13] There's talking and laughing

[00:01:15] And songs in the air

[00:01:17] And the spirit of Christmas

[00:01:19] Is there everywhere

[00:01:22] Before you know it

[00:01:24] You're friends with us all

[00:01:27] And you're dancing around

[00:01:31] And around in the hall

[00:01:35] Hey little girl sits down

[00:01:36] By the Christmas tree lights

[00:01:38] To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet

[00:01:41] To hear all this fun you would not realize

[00:01:46] That the copper boss thug men

[00:01:49] Are milling outside

[00:01:52] The copper boss thugs stuck

[00:01:54] Their heads in the door

[00:01:56] One of them yelled and he screamed

[00:01:58] "There's a fire"

[00:02:01] A lady she hollered

[00:02:02] "There's no such a thing

[00:02:05] Keep on with your party

[00:02:08] There's no such a thing"

[00:02:11] A few people rushed and

[00:02:12] It's only a few

[00:02:14] "It's just the thugs and

[00:02:16] The scabs fooling you"

[00:02:19] A man grabbed his daughter

[00:02:20] And he carried her down

[00:02:23] But the thugs held the door

[00:02:26] And he could not get out

[00:02:30] And then others followed

[00:02:31] A hundred or more

[00:02:33] But most everybody remained

[00:02:35] On the floor

[00:02:37] The gun thugs they laughed

[00:02:38] At their murderous joke

[00:02:40] And the children were smothered

[00:02:44] On the stairs by the door

[00:02:47] Such a terrible sight

[00:02:48] I never did see

[00:02:51] We carried our children

[00:02:52] Back up to their tree

[00:02:55] The scabs outside still

[00:02:57] Laughed at their spree

[00:03:01] And the children that died

[00:03:05] There were seventy three

[00:03:08] The piano played a slow funeral tune

[00:03:13] And the town was lit up

[00:03:14] By a cold Christmas moon

[00:03:18] The parents they cried and

[00:03:19] The miners they moaned

[00:03:25] "See what your greed for money has done"
