Ludlow Massacre - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Written by：Guthrie[00:00:00]

It was early springtime when the strike was on[00:00:03]

They drove us miners out of doors[00:00:08]

Out from the houses that the company owned[00:00:12]

We moved into tents up at old ludlow[00:00:15]

I was worried bad about my children[00:00:22]

Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge[00:00:27]

Every once in a while a bullet would fly[00:00:31]

Kick up gravel under my feet[00:00:35]

We were so afraid you would kill our children[00:00:40]

We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep[00:00:43]

Carried our young ones and a pregnant women[00:00:47]

Down inside the cave to sleep[00:00:52]

That very night your soldiers waited 'til[00:00:58]

All us miners were asleep[00:01:02]

You snuck around our little tent town[00:01:06]

Soaked our tents with your kerosene[00:01:09]

You struck a match and in the blaze that started[00:01:14]

You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns[00:01:18]

I made a run for the children but the fire[00:01:22]

Wall stopped me[00:01:26]

Thirteen children died from your guns[00:01:28]

I carried my blanket to a wire fence corner[00:01:33]

Watched the fire till the blaze died down[00:01:37]

I helped some people drag their belongings[00:01:41]

While your bullets killed us all around[00:01:45]

I never will forget the look on the faces[00:01:50]

Of the men and women that awful day[00:01:54]

When we stood around to preach their funerals[00:01:59]

And lay the corpses of the dead away[00:02:02]

We told the Colorado governor to call the president[00:02:08]

Tell him call off his national guard[00:02:14]

But the national guard belonged to the governor[00:02:19]

So he didn't try so very hard[00:02:23]

Our women from Trinidad they hauled some potatoes[00:02:28]

Up to Walsenburg in a little cart[00:02:33]

They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back[00:02:36]

And they put a gun in every hand[00:02:41]

The state soldiers jumped us in a wire fence corners[00:02:47]

Did not know that we had these guns[00:02:51]

And the redneck miners mowed down these troopers[00:02:56]

You should have seen those poor boys run[00:03:00]

We took some cement and walled that cave up[00:03:06]

Where you killed these thirteen children inside[00:03:10]

I said god bless the mine workers' union[00:03:15]

And then I hung my head and cried[00:03:21]
