Tonalidad: E major
Verse 1
E
It was early springtime
when the strike was on,
A
E
They drove us miners out of doors,
Out from the houses that
the Company owned,
B
E
We moved into tents up at old Ludlow.
Verse 2
E
I was worried bad about my children,
A
Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge,
E
Every once in a while a
bullet would fly,
B
E
Kick up gravel under my feet.
Verse 3
E
We were so afraid you
would kill our children,
A
E
We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep,
A
Carried our young ones and
B
Down inside the cave to sleep.
E
Verse 4
That very night your soldiers waited,
A
E
Until all us miners were asleep,
A
E
You snuck around our little tent town,
B
Soaked our tents with your kerosene.
E
Verse 5
You struck a match and
in the blaze that started,
A
E
You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns,
I made a run for the children but
the fire wall stopped me.
B
E
Thirteen children died from your guns.
Verse 6
E
I carried my blanket to a wire
fence corner,
A
E
Watched the fire till the blaze died down,
I helped some people drag
their belongings,
B
E
While your bullets killed us all around.
Verse 7
E
I never will forget the look on
the faces
A
E
Of the men and women that awful day,
When we stood around
to preach their funerals,
B
And lay the corpses
E
of the dead away.
A
We told the Colorado Governor
Verse 8
call the President,
A
E
Tell him to call off his National Guard,
But the National Guard
belonged to the Governor,
B
E
So he didn't try so very hard.
Verse 9
E
Our women from Trinidad they
hauled some potatoes,
A
E
Up to Walsenburg in a little cart,
They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back,
B
E
And they put a gun in every hand.
Verse 10
E
The state soldiers jumped us in
a wire fence corners,
A
E
They did not know we had these guns,
And the Red- neck Miners mowed
down these troopers,
B
E
You should have seen those poor boys run.
Verse 11
E
We took some cement and walled that cave up,
A
Where you killed these thirteen
E
children inside,
I said, "God bless the Mine
Workers' Union,"
B
E
And then I hung my head and cried.
