Bullets of Mexico (Unreleased LP Version) - Phil Ochs |
| [00:15.00] |
The peons of mexico long have known suffering and pain |
| [00:20.52] |
Zapata and villa have died there fighting in vain |
| [00:26.17] |
Ruben jaramillo kept up the tradition |
| [00:28.43] |
He fought for the land once again |
| [00:31.54] |
He lived for the land |
| [00:32.84] |
And there on the land he was slain |
| [00:37.47] |
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man |
| [00:40.26] |
Who had lived by the gun |
| [00:42.60] |
But all of the bullets of mexico |
| [00:44.82] |
Cannot undo all the work that he's done |
| [00:51.02] |
The greedy capiques have stolen |
| [00:52.98] |
And plundered the land |
| [00:56.54] |
With pistoleros they ruled with a cold iron hand |
| [01:02.04] |
The poor campesinos could stand it no longer |
| [01:04.43] |
Resistance was starting to grow |
| [01:07.23] |
Jaramillo decided to fight for a new mexico |
| [01:13.24] |
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man |
| [01:16.19] |
Who had lived by the gun |
| [01:18.40] |
But all of the bullets of mexico |
| [01:20.72] |
Cannot undo all the work that he's done |
| [01:26.88] |
For twenty long years |
| [01:28.40] |
He fought and he struggled and tried |
| [01:32.83] |
(Effe bonilla) His wife always there at his side |
| [01:38.28] |
Often surrounded he always was hounded |
| [01:40.81] |
They searched for him near far and wide |
| [01:43.57] |
A man of deep sorrow |
| [01:45.00] |
But also a man of deep pride |
| [01:49.56] |
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man |
| [01:52.40] |
Who had lived by the gun |
| [01:54.84] |
But all of the bullets of mexico |
| [01:57.19] |
Cannot undo all the work that he's done |
| [02:03.62] |
Two thousand peasants he led to their long-promised land |
| [02:08.88] |
And the armys revenge killed the wife |
| [02:10.90] |
And the sons and the man |
| [02:14.85] |
His assasins rejoiced with their whiskey and women |
| [02:17.32] |
They laughed and they danced on his grave |
| [02:20.26] |
Now the land waits again |
| [02:21.84] |
For another to ride on the waves |
| [02:26.48] |
A forty-five bullet has ended the life of a man |
| [02:29.37] |
Who had lived by the gun |
| [02:31.86] |
But all of the bullets of mexico |
| [02:34.01] |
Cannot undo all the work that he's done |
