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

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

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[00:00:19]

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]
