[00:00.00] 作曲 : Kellogg
[00:00.39] My children are seven in number
[00:06.96] We have to sleep four in a bed
[00:11.69] I'm striking with my fellow workers
[00:16.18] To get them more clothes and more bread
[00:22.16] Shoes, shoes, we're striking for pairs of shoes
[00:31.48] Shoes, shoes, we're striking for pairs of shoes
[00:41.79] Pellagra is cramping my stomach
[00:46.42] My wife is sick with TB
[00:50.21] My babies are starving for sweet milk
[00:55.14] Oh there's so much sickness for me
[01:01.35] Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk
[01:10.57] Milk, milk, we're striking for gallons of milk
[01:20.05] I'm needing a shave and a haircut
[01:24.88] But barbers I cannot afford
[01:29.25] My wife cannot wash without soapsuds
[01:33.78] And she had to borrow a board
[01:38.44] Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap
[01:48.12] Soap, soap, we're striking for bars of soap
[01:57.75] My house is a shack on the hillside
[02:01.89] It's floors are unpainted and bare
[02:06.76] I haven't a screen to my windows
[02:11.55] And carbide cans do for a chair
[02:16.82] Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes
[02:27.01] Homes, homes, we're striking for better homes
[02:36.04] They shot Barney Graham our leader
[02:41.18] His spirit abides with us still
[02:46.33] The spirit of strength for justice
[02:51.13] No bullets have power to kill
[02:55.57] Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today
[03:05.18] Barney, Barney, we're thinking of you today
[03:14.31] Oh miners go on with the union
[03:19.52] Oh miners go on with the fight
[03:24.29] For we're in the struggle for justice
[03:28.45] And we're in the struggle right
[03:34.03] Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all
[03:43.92] Justice, justice, we're striking for justice for all
