Ludlow Massacre - Woody Guthrie[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 [00:00:12]

We moved into tents up at old Ludlow [00:00:16]

I was worried bad about my children [00:00:23]

Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge [00:00:27]

Every once in a while a bullet would fly [00:00:31]

Kick up gravel under my feet [00:00:36]

We were so afraid you would kill our children [00:00:40]

We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep [00:00:45]

Carried our young ones and pregnant women[00:00:48]

Down inside the cave to sleep [00:00:53]

That very night your soldiers waited [00:00:59]

Until all us miners were asleep [00:01:03]

You snuck around our little tent town [00:01:06]

Soaked our tents with your kerosene [00:01:10]

You struck a match and in the blaze that started [00:01:15]

You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns [00:01:19]

I made a run for the children but the fire wall stopped me [00:01:23]

Thirteen children died from your guns [00:01:29]

I carried my blanket to a wire fence corner [00:01:34]

Watched the fire till the blaze died down [00:01:38]

I helped some people drag their belongings [00:01:42]

While your bullets killed us all around [00:01:46]

I never will forget the look on the faces[00:01:51]

Of the men and women that awful day [00:01:55]

When we stood around to preach their funerals [00:02:00]

And lay the corpses of the dead away [00:02:04]

We told the Colorado Governor to call the President [00:02:09]

Tell him to call off his National Guard [00:02:15]

But the National Guard belonged to the Governor [00:02:20]

So he didn't try so very hard [00:02:24]

Our women from Trinidad they hauled some potatoes [00:02:29]

Up to Walsenburg in a little cart [00:02:34]

They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back [00:02:37]

And they put a gun in every hand [00:02:42]

The state soldiers jumped us in a wire fence corners [00:02:48]

They did not know we had these guns [00:02:53]

And the Red-neck Miners mowed down these troopers [00:02:57]

You should have seen those poor boys run [00:03:01]

We took some cement and walled that cave up [00:03:07]

Where you killed these thirteen children inside [00:03:11]

I said "God bless the Mine Workers' Union "[00:03:16]

And then I hung my head and cried[00:03:22]
