《Seven Cent Cotton & Forty Cent Meat》歌词

[00:00:00] Seven Cent Cotton & Forty Cent Meat - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:11] Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat

[00:00:13] How in the world can a poor man eat

[00:00:15] Flour up high and cotton down low

[00:00:18] How in the world can we raise the dough

[00:00:20] Clothes worn out shoes run down

[00:00:22] Ol' slouch hat with a hole in the crown

[00:00:24] Back nearly broken and fingers all sore

[00:00:27] Cotton gone down to rise no more

[00:00:40] Seven cent cotton an' eight dollar pants

[00:00:42] Who in the world has got a chance

[00:00:45] We can't buy clothes we can't buy meat

[00:00:47] Too much cotton and not enough to eat

[00:00:50] Can't help each other what'll we do

[00:00:52] I can't explain it so it's up to you

[00:00:54] Seven cent cotton and two dollar hose

[00:00:57] Guess we'll have to do without any clothes

[00:01:05] Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat

[00:01:08] How in the world can a poor man eat

[00:01:10] Mules in the barn no crop laid by

[00:01:12] Corn crib's empty and the cow's gone dry

[00:01:15] Well water low nearly outta sight

[00:01:17] Can't take a bath on a Saturday night

[00:01:19] No use talkin' any man is beat

[00:01:22] With seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat

[00:01:35] Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat

[00:01:37] How in the world can a poor man eat

[00:01:39] Poor are gettin' poorer all around here

[00:01:42] Kids comin' regular every year

[00:01:44] Fatten our harvest take into town

[00:01:46] All we get is six cents a pound

[00:01:49] Very next day we have to buy it back

[00:01:51] Forty cents a pound in a paper sack
