Ludlow Massacre - Woody 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 [00:00:16]

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 kill our children [00:00:40]

Dug us a cave that was seven foot deep [00:00:44]

Carried our young ones and pregnant women[00:00:48]

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

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

Until 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 wall stopped me [00:01:22]

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 [00:01:42]

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 [00:02:03]

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 [00:02:37]

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

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

They not know we had these guns [00:02:52]

And the Red-neck Miners mowed down these troopers [00:02:56]

You should seen[00:03:01]

That poor boys run [00:03:03]

We took some cement and walled 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 I hung my head and cried[00:03:21]
