[00:00.00]Mill Mother's Lament - Pete Seeger
[00:04.01]We leave our homes in the morning
[00:07.69]We kiss our children goodbye
[00:11.79]While we slave for the bosses
[00:14.90]Our children scream and cry
[00:18.87]And when we draw our money
[00:22.54]Our grocery bills to pay
[00:26.57]Not a cent to spend for clothing
[00:29.87]Not a cent to lay away
[00:33.72]And on that very evening
[00:37.38]Our little son will say
[00:41.05]I need some shoes mother
[00:44.52]And so does sister May
[00:48.12]How it grieves the heart of a mother
[00:51.97]You everyone must know
[00:55.71]But we can't buy for our children
[00:59.29]Our wages are too low
[01:03.11]It is for our little children
[01:06.73]That seem to us so dear
[01:10.57]But for us nor them dear workers
[01:14.21]The bosses do not care
[01:17.78]But understand all workers
[01:21.64]Our union they do fear
[01:25.34]Let's stand together workers
[01:28.90]And have a union here
