《Mill Mother’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Mill Mother's Lament - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:03] We leave our homes in the morning

[00:00:07] We kiss our children goodbye

[00:00:11] While we slave for the bosses

[00:00:14] Our children scream and cry

[00:00:18] And when we draw our money

[00:00:22] Our grocery bills to pay

[00:00:26] Not a cent to spend for clothing

[00:00:29] Not a cent to lay away

[00:00:33] And on that very evening

[00:00:37] Our little son will say

[00:00:40] I need some shoes mother

[00:00:44] And so does sister May

[00:00:47] How it grieves the heart of a mother

[00:00:51] You everyone must know

[00:00:55] But we can't buy for our children

[00:00:59] Our wages are too low

[00:01:03] It is for our little children

[00:01:06] That seem to us so dear

[00:01:10] But for us nor them dear workers

[00:01:14] The bosses do not care

[00:01:17] But understand all workers

[00:01:21] Our union they do fear

[00:01:25] Let's stand together workers

[00:01:28] And have a union here
