《I Hate the Company Bosses》歌词

[00:00:00] I hate the company bosses

[00:00:06] I'll tell you the reason why

[00:00:12] They cause me so much suffering

[00:00:17] And my dearest friends to die

[00:00:22] Oh yes I guess you wonder

[00:00:28] What they have done to me

[00:00:33] I'm going to tell you mister

[00:00:38] My husband had T B

[00:00:43] Brought on by hard work and low wages

[00:00:48] And not enough to eat

[00:00:53] Going naked and hungry

[00:00:57] No shoes on his feet

[00:01:02] I guess you'll say he's lazy

[00:01:07] And did not want to work

[00:01:12] But I must say you're crazy

[00:01:16] For work he did not shirk

[00:01:21] My husband was a coal miner

[00:01:26] He worked and risked his life

[00:01:30] To try to support three children

[00:01:35] Himself his mother and wife

[00:01:41] I had a blue-eyed baby

[00:01:45] The darling of my heart

[00:01:50] But from my little darling

[00:01:54] Her mother had to part

[00:01:59] These mighty company bosses

[00:02:04] They dress in jewels and silk

[00:02:08] But my darling blue-eyed baby

[00:02:13] She starved to death for milk

[00:02:18] I had a darling mother

[00:02:23] For her I often cry

[00:02:27] But with them rotten conditions

[00:02:32] My mother had to die

[00:02:37] Well what killed your mother

[00:02:42] I heard these bosses say

[00:02:46] Dead of hard work and starvation

[00:02:50] My mother had to pay

[00:02:55] Well what killed your mother

[00:03:00] Oh tell us if you please

[00:03:04] Excuse me it was pellagra

[00:03:09] That starvation disease

[00:03:13] They call this the land of plenty

[00:03:18] To them I guess it's true

[00:03:22] But that's to the company bosses

[00:03:26] Not workers like me and you

[00:03:30] Well what can I do about it

[00:03:34] To these men of power and might

[00:03:39] I tell you company bosses

[00:03:43] I'm going to fight fight fight

[00:03:47] What can we do about it

[00:03:51] To right this dreadful wrong

[00:03:55] We're all going to join the union

[00:03:59] For the union makes us strong
