Fare Ye Well Old Ely Branch - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

Fare ye well old Ely Branch [00:00:03]

Fare ye well I say[00:00:06]

I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes[00:00:08]

And I'm a-goin' away[00:00:11]

When we had a strike in Ely this spring [00:00:15]

These words ol' Hughes did say[00:00:17]

Come along boys go back to work [00:00:20]

We'll give you the two weeks' pays[00:00:22]

When they put on their mining clothes [00:00:25]

Hard work again they tried[00:00:27]

And when ol' payday rolled around [00:00:30]

They found ol' Hughes had lied[00:00:32]

So fare ye well old Ely Branch [00:00:34]

Fare ye well I say[00:00:37]

I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes[00:00:39]

And I'm a-goin' away[00:00:43]

When Hughes thinks his mines was goin' to stop [00:00:47]

A sight to see him frown[00:00:49]

There's gas enough in old Hughes [00:00:51]

To blow these mountains down[00:00:54]

Oh take your children outta Ely Branch [00:00:56]

Before they cry for bread[00:00:59]

For when ol' Hughes' debts are paid [00:01:01]

He won't be worth a thread[00:01:03]

So fare ye well old Ely Branch [00:01:06]

Fare ye well I say[00:01:08]

I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes[00:01:10]

And I'm a-goin' away[00:01:13]

Now Hughes claims he owns more mines than these [00:01:24]

He says he gots money to lend[00:01:27]

But when ol' payday rolls around [00:01:30]

He can't pay off his men[00:01:32]

I'd rather be in Pine Grove jail[00:01:34]

With my back all covered in lice[00:01:37]

Than to be in old Hughes' coal mines [00:01:40]

Diggin' coal at Hughes' price[00:01:43]

I think John Yaeger's a very nice man [00:01:46]

He's the same ol' John every day[00:01:49]

But a man can't live can't live on[00:01:52]

Dried beef and tomatoes an' I'm a-goin' away[00:01:53]

Fare ye well old Ely Branch [00:01:57]

Fare ye well I say[00:01:59]

I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes[00:02:01]

And I'm a-goin' away[00:02:05]
