Let Them Wear Their Watches Fine - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

Written by：Seeger[00:00:00]

I lived in a town way down south[00:00:00]

By the name of Buffalo[00:00:05]

Worked in the mill with the rest of the trash[00:00:08]

As we're often called you know[00:00:12]

You factory folks who sing this rhyme[00:00:17]

Will surely understand[00:00:21]

The reason why I love you so[00:00:24]

Is I'm a factory hand[00:00:30]

While standing here between my looms[00:00:34]

You know I lose no time[00:00:38]

To keep my shuttles in a whizz[00:00:42]

And write this little rhyme[00:00:47]

We rise up early in the morn'[00:00:51]

And work all day real hard[00:00:55]

To buy our little meat and bread[00:00:59]

And sugar tea and lard[00:01:04]

We work from weekend to weekend[00:01:08]

And never lose a day[00:01:12]

And when that awful payday comes[00:01:16]

We draw our little pay[00:01:20]

We then go home on payday night[00:01:24]

And sit down in a chair[00:01:28]

The merchant raps upon the door[00:01:31]

He's come to get his share[00:01:36]

When all our little debts are paid[00:01:40]

And nothing left behind[00:01:44]

We turn our pockets wrong side out[00:01:47]

But not a cent can we find[00:01:51]

We rise up early in the morn'[00:01:56]

And toil from soon to late[00:02:00]

We have no time to primp or fix[00:02:04]

And dress right up to date[00:02:08]

Our children they grow up unlearned[00:02:12]

No time to go to school[00:02:15]

Almost before they have learned to walk[00:02:19]

They have learned to spin or spool[00:02:23]

The bossman jerks them round and round[00:02:28]

And whistles very keen[00:02:32]

I'll tell you what the factory kids[00:02:35]

Are really treated mean[00:02:39]

The folks in town who dress so fine[00:02:43]

And spend their money free[00:02:47]

Will hardly look at a factory hand[00:02:51]

Who dresses like you and me[00:02:56]

As we go walking down the street[00:03:00]

All wrapped in lint and strings[00:03:04]

They call us fools and factory trash[00:03:07]

And other lowdown things[00:03:12]

Well let them wear their watches fine[00:03:16]

Their rings and pearly strings[00:03:21]

When the day of judgement comes[00:03:25]

We'll make 'em shed their pretty things[00:03:30]
