Mill Mother´s Lament - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
We leave our homes in the morning[00:00:03]
We kiss our children goodbye[00:00:07]
While we slave for the bosses[00:00:11]
Our children scream and cry[00:00:14]
And when we draw our money[00:00:18]
Our grocery bills to pay[00:00:22]
Not a cent to spend for clothing[00:00:26]
Not a cent to lay away[00:00:29]
And on that very evening[00:00:33]
Our little son will say[00:00:37]
I need some shoes mother[00:00:40]
And so does sister may[00:00:44]
How it grieves the heart of a mother[00:00:47]
You everyone must know[00:00:51]
But we can't buy for our children[00:00:55]
Our wages are too low[00:00:59]
It is for our little children[00:01:03]
That seem to us so dear[00:01:06]
But for us nor them dear workers[00:01:10]
The bosses do not care[00:01:13]
But understand all workers[00:01:17]
Our union they do fear[00:01:21]
Let's stand together workers[00:01:25]
And have a union here[00:01:28]
