歌曲歌詞
It was early springtime when the strike was on
They drove us miners out of doors
Out from the houses that the company owned
We moved into tents up at old ludlow
I was worried bad about my children
Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge
Every once in a while a bullet would fly
Kick up gravel under my feet
We were so afraid you would kill our children
We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep
Carried our young ones and pregnant women
Down inside the cave to sleep
That very night your soldiers waited
Until all us miners were asleep
You snuck around our little tent town
Soaked our tents with your kerosene
You struck a match
And in the blaze that started
You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns
I made a run for the children
But the fire wall stopped me
Thirteen children died from your guns
I carried my blanket to a wire fence corner
Watched the fire till the blaze died down
I helped some people drag their belongings
While your bullets killed us all around
I never will forget the look on the faces
Of the men and women that awful day
When we stood around to preach their funerals
And lay the corpses of the dead away
We told the colorado governor to call the president
Tell him to call off his national guard
But the national guard belonged to the governor
So he didn’t try so very hard
Our women from trinidad they hauled some potatoes
Up to walsenburg in a little cart
They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back
And they put a gun in every hand
The state soldiers jumped us in a wire fence corners
They did not know we had these guns
And the red neck miners mowed down these troopers
You should have seen those poor boys run
We took some cement and walled that cave up
Where you killed these thirteen children inside
I said god bless the mine workers’ union
And then I hung my head and cried
