Ludlow Massacre - Arlo Guthrie (阿洛·古利)[00:00:00]

It was early springtime when the strike was on[00:00:04]

They drove us miners out of doors[00:00:09]

Out from the houses that the company owned[00:00:13]

We moved into tents up at old ludlow[00:00:18]

I was worried bad about our children[00:00:24]

Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge[00:00:29]

Every once in a while a bullet would fly[00:00:33]

Kick up gravel under my feet[00:00:38]

We were so afraid that would kill our children[00:00:43]

We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep[00:00:48]

And carried our young ones and pregnant women[00:00:53]

Down inside the cave to sleep[00:00:57]

That very night your soldiers waited[00:01:03]

Until all us miners were asleep[00:01:08]

You snick around our little tent town[00:01:12]

Soaked our tents with your kerosene[00:01:17]

You struck a match and in the blaze that started[00:01:23]

You pulled the triggers of your Gatling guns[00:01:28]

I made a run for the children but the fire wall stopped me[00:01:32]

Thirteen children died from your guns[00:01:37]

I carried my blanket to a wire fence corner[00:01:43]

Watched the fire till the blaze died down[00:01:47]

And I helped some people drag their belongings[00:01:52]

While your bullets killed us all around[00:01:57]

I never will forget the look on the faces[00:02:02]

Of the men and women that awful day[00:02:07]

We stood around to preach their funerals[00:02:12]

And lay the corpses of the dead away[00:02:17]

We told the Colorado governor to call the president[00:02:22]

Tell him to call off his national guard[00:02:27]

But the national guard belonged to the governor[00:02:32]

So he didn't try so very hard[00:02:36]

Our women from Trinidad hauled some potatoes[00:02:42]

Up to Walsenburg in a little cart[00:02:47]

They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back[00:02:51]

And they put a gun in every hand[00:02:56]

The state soldiers jumped us in a wire fence corners[00:03:21]

They did not know that we had these guns[00:03:26]

And the red-neck miners mowed down these troopers[00:03:30]

You should have seen those poor boys run[00:03:35]

We took some cement and walled that cave up[00:03:41]

Where you killed these thirteen children inside[00:03:45]

I said god bless the mine workers' union[00:03:50]

Then I hung my head and cried[00:03:55]
