Bracero (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]

Wade into the river [00:00:08]

Through the rippling shallow watter[00:00:11]

Steal across the thirsty border bracero[00:00:15]

Come bring your hungry bodies[00:00:23]

To the golden fields of plenty[00:00:26]

From a peso to a penny bracero[00:00:30]

Oh welcome to california[00:00:38]

Where the friendly farmer[00:00:45]

Will take care of you[00:00:48]

Come labor for your mother [00:00:53]

For your father and your brother[00:00:57]

For your sister and your lover bracero[00:01:01]

Come pick the fruit of yellow [00:01:08]

Break the flower from the berry[00:01:12]

Purple grapes will fill your belly bracero[00:01:16]

Oh welcome to california[00:01:22]

Where the friendly farmer[00:01:30]

Will take care of you[00:01:34]

And the sun will bite your body [00:01:39]

As the dust will draw you thristy[00:01:43]

While your muscles beg for mercy bracero[00:01:47]

In the shade of your sombrero [00:01:54]

Drop your sweat upon the soil[00:01:58]

Like the fruit your youth can spoil bracero[00:02:02]

Oh welcome to california[00:02:08]

Where the friendly farmer[00:02:17]

Will take care of you[00:02:20]

When the weary night embraces [00:02:27]

Sleep in shacks that could be cages[00:02:31]

They will take it from your wages bracero[00:02:34]

Come sing about tomorrow[00:02:42]

With a jingle of the dollar[00:02:46]

And forget your crooked collar bracero[00:02:49]

Oh welcome to california[00:02:56]

Where the friendly farmer[00:03:04]

Will take care of you[00:03:08]

And the local men are lazy [00:03:14]

And they make too much of trouble[00:03:18]

Besides we have to pay the double bracero[00:03:22]

But if you feel you're falling [00:03:30]

If you find the pace is killing[00:03:33]

There are others who are willing bracero[00:03:37]

Oh welcome to california[00:03:44]

Where the friendly farmer[00:03:52]

Will take care of you[00:03:55]
