Song for Bridges - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

Let me tell you of a sailor Harry Bridges is his name [00:00:04]

An honest union leader who the bosses tried to frame [00:00:10]

He left home in Australia to sail the seas around [00:00:15]

He sailed across the ocean to land in 'Frisco town [00:00:20]

There was only a company union the bosses had their way [00:00:25]

A worker had to stand in line for a lousy dollar a day [00:00:30]

When up spoke Harry Bridges "Us workers got to get wise [00:00:35]

Our wives and kids will starve to death if we don't get organized "[00:00:39]

Oh the FBI is worried the bosses they are scared [00:00:44]

They can't deport six million men they know [00:00:49]

And we're not going to let them send Harry over the sea [00:00:54]

We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C I O [00:00:59]

They built a big bonfire by the Matson lines that night [00:01:06]

They threw their fink books in it and they said "We're gonna fight [00:01:11]

You've got to pay a livin' wage or we're gonna take a walk "[00:01:15]

They told it to the bosses but the bosses wouldn't talk [00:01:20]

They said "There's only one way left to get that contract signed "[00:01:26]

And all around the waterfront they threw their picket line [00:01:31]

They called it Bloody Thursday the fifth day of July [00:01:37]

For a hundred men were wounded and two were left to die [00:01:41]

Oh the FBI is worried the bosses they are scared [00:01:46]

They can't deport six million men they know [00:01:51]

And we're not going to let them send Harry over the sea [00:01:55]

We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C I O [00:02:00]

Now that was seven years ago and in the time since then[00:02:07]

Harry's organized thousands more and made them union men [00:02:12]

"We must try to bribe him" the shipping bosses said [00:02:16]

And if he won't accept a bribe we'll say that he's a red "[00:02:21]

The bosses brought a trial to deport him over the sea [00:02:27]

But the judge said "He's an honest man I got to set him free "[00:02:31]

Then they brought another trial to frame him if they can [00:02:36]

But right by Harry Bridges stands every working man [00:02:40]

Oh the FBI is worried the bosses they are scared [00:02:45]

They can't deport six million men they know [00:02:50]

And we're not going to let them send Harry over the sea [00:02:54]

We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C I O[00:02:59]
