Talking Union (Analog Source Remaster 2016) - The Almanac Singers[00:00:00]

Written by：Millard Lampell/Pete Seeger/Lee Hays/Rr[00:00:01]

Now if you want higher wages[00:00:05]

Let me tell you what to do[00:00:06]

You got to talk to the workers[00:00:07]

In the shop with you[00:00:08]

You got to build you a union[00:00:09]

Got to make it strong[00:00:11]

But if you all stick together[00:00:12]

Boys it won't be long[00:00:13]

You get shorter hours[00:00:14]

Better working conditions[00:00:17]

Vacations with pay[00:00:20]

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

It ain't quite this simple[00:00:24]

So I better explain[00:00:25]

Just why you got to[00:00:26]

Ride on the union train[00:00:27]

Cause if you wait for[00:00:28]

The boss to raise your pay[00:00:29]

We'll all be a waiting till Judgment Day[00:00:31]

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

St Peter'll be the straw boss then[00:00:38]

Now you know you're underpaid[00:00:42]

But the boss says you ain't[00:00:43]

He speeds up the work[00:00:44]

Till you're about to faint[00:00:45]

You may be down and out[00:00:47]

But you ain't beaten[00:00:48]

You can pass out a leaflet[00:00:48]

And call a meeting[00:00:50]

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

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

Course the boss may persuade[00:01:00]

Some poor d**n fool[00:01:01]

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

But you can always tell a stool[00:01:04]

Though that's a fact[00:01:05]

He's got a yaller streak a running down his back[00:01:06]

He doesn't have to stool[00:01:08]

He'll always get along[00:01:11]

On what he takes out of blind men's cups[00:01:14]

You got a union now[00:01:21]

And you're sitting pretty[00:01:22]

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

The boss won't listen[00:01:26]

When one guy squawks[00:01:27]

But he's got to listen[00:01:28]

When the union talks[00:01:29]

He'd better be mighty lonely[00:01:30]

Everybody decide to walk out on him[00:01:35]

Suppose they're working you[00:01:41]

So hard it's just outrageous[00:01:42]

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

You go to the boss[00:01:46]

And the boss would yell[00:01:47]

Before I raise your pay[00:01:48]

I'd see you all in hell[00:01:49]

Well he's puffing a big cigar[00:01:50]

Feeling mighty slick[00:01:51]

'Cause he thinks he's got your union licked[00:01:52]

Well he looks out the window[00:01:55]

And what does he see[00:01:56]

But a thousand pickets and they all agree[00:01:57]

He's a bastard unfair slavedriver[00:01:59]

Bet he beats his wife[00:02:06]

Now boys you've come to the hardest time[00:02:11]

The boss will try to bust your picket line[00:02:13]

He'll call out the police[00:02:15]

The national guard[00:02:16]

They'll tell you[00:02:17]

It's a crime to have a union card[00:02:18]

They'll raid your meeting[00:02:19]

They'll hit you on the head[00:02:20]

They'll call every one of you a goddam red[00:02:22]

Unpatriotic Japanese spies[00:02:24]

Sabotaging national defense[00:02:29]

But out at ford here's what they found[00:02:34]

And out at Vultee here's what they found[00:02:37]

And out at Allis Chalmers[00:02:39]

Here's what they found[00:02:40]

And down at Bethlehem[00:02:41]

Here's what they found[00:02:42]

That if you don't let red baiting break you up[00:02:43]

And if you don't let stoolpigeons break you up[00:02:45]

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

And if you don't let race hatred break you up[00:02:49]

You'll win what I mean[00:02:51]

Take it easy[00:02:53]

But take it[00:02:54]
