Talking Union - The Almanac Singers/Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

Now if you want higher wages let me tell you what to do[00:00:06]

You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you[00:00:08]

You got to build you a union got to make it strong[00:00:10]

But if you all stick together for I won't be long[00:00:12]

You'll get shorter hours[00:00:15]

Better working conditions vacations with pay[00:00:18]

Take your kids to the seashore[00:00:21]

It ain't quite this simple so I better explain[00:00:24]

Just why you got to ride on the union train[00:00:26]

'Cause if you wait for the boss to raise your pay[00:00:28]

We'll all be waiting till judgment day[00:00:31]

We'll all he buried gone to heaven[00:00:33]

Saint peter'll be the straw boss then[00:00:38]

Now you know you're underpaid hut the boss says you ain't[00:00:42]

He speeds up the work till you're 'bout to faint[00:00:44]

You may he down and out but you ain't beaten[00:00:46]

You can pass out a leaflet and call a meetin'[00:00:49]

Talk it over speak your mind[00:00:51]

Decide to do something about it[00:00:56]

'Course the boss may persuade some poor damn fool[00:00:59]

To go to your meeting and act like a stool[00:01:02]

But you can always tell a stool though that's a fact[00:01:04]

He got a yellow streak running down his back[00:01:06]

He doesn't have to stool he'll always get long[00:01:08]

On what he takes out of blind mens cups[00:01:13]

You got a union now you're sitting pretty[00:01:20]

Put some of the boys on the steering committee[00:01:23]

The boss won't listen when one man squawks[00:01:25]

But he's got to listen when the union talks he better[00:01:27]

He'll be mighty lonely everybody decided work out on here[00:01:31]

Suppose they're working you so hard it's just outrageous[00:01:40]

They're paying you all starvation wages[00:01:43]

You go to the boss and the boss would yell[00:01:45]

Before I'd raise your pay I'd see you all in hell[00:01:47]

Well he's puffing a big segar and feeling mighty slick[00:01:49]

He thinks he's got your union licked[00:01:51]

He looks out the window and what does he see[00:01:53]

But a thousand pickets and they all agree[00:01:56]

He's a bastard unfair slave driver[00:01:58]

Bet he beats his own wife[00:02:04]

Now boy you've come to the hardest time[00:02:09]

The boss will try to bust your picket line[00:02:12]

He'll call out the police the national guard[00:02:14]

They'll tell you it's a crime to have a union card[00:02:16]

They'll raid your meeting hit you on the head[00:02:18]

Thay're call every one of you a goddamn red[00:02:20]

Unpatriotic japanese fats[00:02:22]

Save the talking national decides[00:02:27]

But out in detroit here's what they found[00:02:32]

And out in frisco here's what they found[00:02:34]

And out in pittsburgh here's what they found[00:02:37]

And down in bethlehem here's what they found[00:02:39]

That if you don't let red-baiting break you up[00:02:41]

And if you don't let stool pigeons break you up[00:02:43]

If you don't let vigilantes break you up[00:02:45]

And if you don't let race hatred break you up[00:02:47]

You'll win what I mean[00:02:49]

Take it easy but take it[00:02:51]
