[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:03.815] Joel Haglund came from Sweden
[00:05.838] Which was very far from Eden
[00:07.971] By the time he left most of his family died
[00:11.778] His sisters and his mother
[00:13.721] His father and his brothers
[00:15.565] So with one remaining sibling at his side
[00:20.242] He got a notion
[00:21.512] To sail across the ocean
[00:23.427] Where he heard the streets were paved with gold
[00:27.072] Not long after his arrival
[00:29.367] As he toiled for survival
[00:31.131] He realized the bill of goods that he’d been sold
[00:35.320] He got a whole lot wiser
[00:37.200] Became an organizer
[00:39.182] And he organized with artistry and skill
[00:42.807] He spoke up, raised his fist
[00:44.965] Got right on the blacklist
[00:47.044] That’s why he changed his name to Joe Hill
[00:51.139] He heard that it was best
[00:53.011] If he headed to the west
[00:54.907] Where the Industrial Workers of the World
[00:58.887] Were finding the solutions
[01:00.804] For making revolution
[01:02.586] With red songbook and red flag unfurled
[01:06.410] A hundred years ago the bard
[01:08.685] With the union card
[01:10.621] Proved his music was too powerful, too strong
[01:14.660] They couldn’t stand the sound
[01:16.711] They had to take him down
[01:18.537] Lest he organize the working class in song
[01:24.603] Soon as he paid his dues
[01:26.491] He tried hard to light the fuse
[01:28.708] Speaking, singing, writing lyrics and cartoons
[01:32.639] He sent off the whole mess
[01:34.664] To the Wobbly press
[01:36.546] And they sang his songs as they fought the goons
[01:40.701] He joined a singing movement
[01:42.787] That fought for improvement
[01:44.662] By abolishing wage-slavery worldwide
[01:48.592] He sang the Wobbly line
[01:50.481] Beseeching workers to combine
[01:52.249] Learn from Mr Block — the bosses lied
[01:56.066] A hundred years ago the bard
[01:58.414] With the union card
[02:00.392] Proved his music was too powerful, too strong
[02:04.385] They couldn’t stand the sound
[02:06.439] They had to take him down
[02:08.358] Lest he organize the working class in song
[02:30.399] His life would be cut short
[02:32.368] By a kangaroo court
[02:34.582] Eager to determine one man’s fate
[02:38.262] Evidence was circumstantial
[02:40.352] But that’s inconsequential
[02:42.498] When you’ve become an enemy of the state
[02:46.114] They put him up against the wall
[02:48.413] And that was all
[02:50.511] They gunned him down in 1915
[02:53.615] He took all the bullets he could take
[02:56.011] There by the Salt Lake
[02:57.982] For being the best bard they’d ever seen
[03:01.415] A hundred years ago the bard
[03:03.765] With the union card
[03:05.598] Proved his music was too powerful, too strong
[03:09.775] They couldn’t stand the sound
[03:11.817] They had to take him down
[03:13.653] Lest he organize the working class in song
[03:17.421] A hundred years ago the bard
[03:19.968] With the union card
[03:21.678] Proved his music was too powerful, too strong
[03:25.711] They couldn’t stand the sound
[03:27.618] They had to take him down
[03:29.534] Lest he organize the working class in song
[03:33.485] Lest he organize the working class in song
