Tonart: D major
Verse 1
E
It was early springtime
and the strike was on
A
E
They moved us miners out of doors,
A
out from the houses that
B
We moved into tents up at Old Ludlow
E
I was worried bad about
my children,
A
E
soldiers guarding the railroad bridge.
A
E
Every once in a while a bullet would fly,
B
E
kick up gravel under my feet.
I was so afraid you'd kill my children,
A
dug us a cave that was seven
A
took our young ones and
B
E
down inside this cave to sleep.
That very night you soldiers waited
A
E
till all us miners was asleep.
A
E
You snuck around our little tent town
B
and you soaked our tent
You struck a match and a
blaze had started
A
E
You pulled a trigger, shoved a gatling gun
A
I made a run for the children
E
But the firewall stopped me
B
E
13 children died from your guns
I drag my blanket to a wire fence corner
A
E
I watch the fire till the blaze dies down
A
I help some people drag
B
E
While your bullets killed us all around
Never will forget the look on the faces
A
E
of the men and women that awful day
B
E
and lay the corpses of the dead away
Told the Colorado governor
to phone the president
A
E
And tell him call off his National Guard
E
belonged to the governor
B
E
So he didn't try so very hard
Our women from Trinidad,
they hauled some potatoes
A
Hopped a waltzing bird in a little cart
E
A
Sold the potatoes
E
and they brought some guns back
B
E
And they put a gun in every hand
State soldiers jumped us
in the wire fence corners
A
E
They did not know that we had these guns
E
mowed down them troopers
B
E
You should have seen them poor boys run
We took some cement
and walled the cave up
A
E
Where he killed his thirteen children inside
A
E
I said, God bless the Mine Workers Union
B
E
And then I'd hold my head and cry
