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