[00:00.00] 作曲 : Pete Seeger/Millard Lampell/Lee Hays
[00:04.73]Let me tell you of a sailor, Harry Bridges is his name
[00:10.35]An honest union leader who the bosses tried to frame
[00:15.04]He left home in Australia to sail the seas around
[00:19.86]He sailed across the ocean to land in 'Frisco town
[00:25.55]There was only a company union the bosses had their way
[00:30.34]A worker had to stand in line for a lousy dollar a day
[00:35.27]When up spoke Harry Bridges, "Us workers got to get wise,
[00:39.98]Our wives and kids will starve to death if we don't get organized."
[00:44.49]Oh, the FBI is worried, the bosses they are scared
[00:49.71]They can't deport six million men, they know
[00:54.12]And we're not going to let them send harry over the sea
[00:59.24]We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C. I. O.
[01:06.17]They built a big bonfire by the matson lines that night
[01:11.10]They threw their fink books in it and they said, "We're gonna fight!
[01:15.80]You've got to pay a livin' wage or we're gonna take a walk."
[01:20.36]They told it to the bosses but the bosses wouldn't talk
[01:26.42]They said there's only one way left to get that contract signed
[01:31.21]And all around the waterfront they threw their picket line
[01:37.06]They called it bloody Thursday the fifth day of July
[01:41.73]For a hundred men were wounded and two were left to die
[01:46.17]Oh, the FBI is worried, the bosses they are scared
[01:51.19]They can't deport six million men, they know
[01:55.53]And we're not going to let them send harry over the sea
[02:00.33]We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C. I. O.
[02:07.10]Now that was seven years ago, and in the time since then
[02:12.00]Harry's organized thousands more and made them union men
[02:16.65]We must try to bribe him the shipping bosses said
[02:21.27]And if he won't accept a bribe we'll say that he's a red
[02:27.12]The bosses brought a trial to deport him over the sea
[02:31.41]But the judge said he's an honest man I got to set him free
[02:36.41]Then they brought another trial to frame him if they can
[02:40.83]But right by harry bridges stands every working man
[02:45.28]Oh, the FBI is worried, the bosses they are scared
[02:50.03]They can't deport six million men, they know
[02:54.26]And we're not going to let them send harry over the sea
[02:59.00]We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C. I. O.

作曲 : Pete Seeger/Millard Lampell/Lee Hays
Let me tell you of a sailor, Harry Bridges is his name
An honest union leader who the bosses tried to frame
He left home in Australia to sail the seas around
He sailed across the ocean to land in 'Frisco town
There was only a company union the bosses had their way
A worker had to stand in line for a lousy dollar a day
When up spoke Harry Bridges, "Us workers got to get wise,
Our wives and kids will starve to death if we don't get organized."
Oh, the FBI is worried, the bosses they are scared
They can't deport six million men, they know
And we're not going to let them send harry over the sea
We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C. I. O.
They built a big bonfire by the matson lines that night
They threw their fink books in it and they said, "We're gonna fight!
You've got to pay a livin' wage or we're gonna take a walk."
They told it to the bosses but the bosses wouldn't talk
They said there's only one way left to get that contract signed
And all around the waterfront they threw their picket line
They called it bloody Thursday the fifth day of July
For a hundred men were wounded and two were left to die
Oh, the FBI is worried, the bosses they are scared
They can't deport six million men, they know
And we're not going to let them send harry over the sea
We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C. I. O.
Now that was seven years ago, and in the time since then
Harry's organized thousands more and made them union men
We must try to bribe him the shipping bosses said
And if he won't accept a bribe we'll say that he's a red
The bosses brought a trial to deport him over the sea
But the judge said he's an honest man I got to set him free
Then they brought another trial to frame him if they can
But right by harry bridges stands every working man
Oh, the FBI is worried, the bosses they are scared
They can't deport six million men, they know
And we're not going to let them send harry over the sea
We'll fight for Harry Bridges and build the C. I. O.
