Bullets Of Mexico (Unreleased LP Version) - Phil Ochs[00:00:00]
The peons of mexico long have known suffering and pain [00:00:15]
Zapata and villa have died there fighting in vain [00:00:20]
Ruben jaramillo kept up the tradition [00:00:26]
He fought for the land once again [00:00:28]
He lived for the land [00:00:31]
And there on the land he was slain [00:00:32]
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man[00:00:37]
Who had lived by the gun [00:00:40]
But all of the bullets of mexico[00:00:42]
Cannot undo all the work that he's done [00:00:44]
The greedy capiques have stolen[00:00:51]
And plundered the land [00:00:52]
With pistoleros they ruled with a cold iron hand [00:00:56]
The poor campesinos could stand it no longer [00:01:02]
Resistance was starting to grow [00:01:04]
Jaramillo decided to fight for a new mexico [00:01:07]
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man[00:01:13]
Who had lived by the gun [00:01:16]
But all of the bullets of mexico[00:01:18]
Cannot undo all the work that he's done [00:01:20]
For twenty long years[00:01:26]
He fought and he struggled and tried [00:01:28]
(Effe bonilla) His wife always there at his side [00:01:32]
Often surrounded he always was hounded [00:01:38]
They searched for him near far and wide[00:01:40]
A man of deep sorrow [00:01:43]
But also a man of deep pride [00:01:45]
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man[00:01:49]
Who had lived by the gun [00:01:52]
But all of the bullets of mexico[00:01:54]
Cannot undo all the work that he's done [00:01:57]
Two thousand peasants he led to their long-promised land [00:02:03]
And the armys revenge killed the wife[00:02:08]
And the sons and the man [00:02:10]
His assasins rejoiced with their whiskey and women [00:02:14]
They laughed and they danced on his grave [00:02:17]
Now the land waits again[00:02:20]
For another to ride on the waves [00:02:21]
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man[00:02:26]
Who had lived by the gun [00:02:29]
But all of the bullets of mexico[00:02:31]
Cannot undo all the work that he's done[00:02:34]
