Seven Cent Cotton & Forty Cent Meat - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat[00:00:11]

How in the world can a poor man eat[00:00:13]

Flour up high and cotton down low[00:00:15]

How in the world can we raise the dough[00:00:18]

Clothes worn out shoes run down[00:00:20]

Ol' slouch hat with a hole in the crown[00:00:22]

Back nearly broken and fingers all sore[00:00:25]

Cotton gone down to rise no more[00:00:27]

Seven cent cotton an' eight dollar pants[00:00:40]

Who in the world has got a chance[00:00:42]

We can't buy clothes we can't buy meat[00:00:45]

Too much cotton and not enough to eat[00:00:48]

Can't help each other what'll we do[00:00:50]

I can't explain it so it's up to you[00:00:52]

Seven cent cotton and two dollar hose[00:00:54]

Guess we'll have to do without any clothes[00:00:57]

Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat[00:01:05]

How in the world can a poor man eat[00:01:08]

Mules in the barn no crop laid by[00:01:10]

Corn crib's empty and the cow's gone dry[00:01:12]

Well water low nearly outta sight[00:01:15]

Can't take a bath on a Saturday night[00:01:17]

No use talkin' any man is beat[00:01:19]

With seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat[00:01:22]

Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat[00:01:35]

How in the world can a poor man eat[00:01:37]

Poor are gettin' poorer all around here[00:01:40]

Kids comin' regular every year[00:01:42]

Fatten our harvest take into town[00:01:44]

All we get is six cents a pound[00:01:47]

Very next day we have to buy it back[00:01:49]

Forty cents a pound in a paper sack[00:01:51]
