Song | Mill Mother's Lament |
Artist | Pete Seeger |
Album | American Industrial Ballads |
作曲 : Williams | |
We leave our homes in the morning | |
We kiss our children goodbye | |
While we slave for the bosses | |
Our children scream and cry | |
And when we draw our money | |
Our grocery bills to pay | |
Not a cent to spend for clothing | |
Not a cent to lay away | |
And on that very evening | |
Our little son will say | |
I need some shoes mother | |
And so does sister May | |
How it grieves the heart of a mother | |
You everyone must know | |
But we can't buy for our children | |
Our wages are too low | |
It is for our little children | |
That seem to us so dear | |
But for us nor them dear workers | |
The bosses do not care | |
But understand all workers | |
Our union they do fear | |
Let's stand together | |
And have a union here |
