[00:00.00]Dear Mr. President - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)
[00:09.06]Dear Mr President I set me down
[00:11.09]To send you greetings from my home town
[00:13.03]And send you best wishes from all the friends I know
[00:15.35]In Texas Alabama Ohio
[00:18.13]And affiliated
[00:20.37]I'm an ordinary guy worked most of my life
[00:22.68]Sometime I'll settle down with my kids and wife
[00:24.71]And I like to see a movie or take a little drink
[00:26.93]I like being free to say what I think
[00:29.33]Sort of runs in the family
[00:31.40]My grandpa crossed the ocean for the same reason
[00:35.72]Now I hate Hitler and I can tell you why
[00:37.92]He's caused lots of good folks to suffer and die
[00:40.36]He's got a way of shoving folks around
[00:42.31]I figure it's about time we slapped him down
[00:44.20]Give him a dose of his own medicine
[00:46.88]Lead poisoning
[00:49.84]Now Mr President
[00:51.19]We haven't always agreed in the past I know
[00:53.46]But that ain't at all important now
[00:55.62]What is important is what we got to do
[00:57.40]We got to lick Mr hitler and until we do
[00:59.62]Other things can wait
[01:02.33]In other words first we got a skunk to skin
[01:06.59]War means overtime and higher prices
[01:08.43]But we're all willing to make sacrifices
[01:10.50]Hell I'd even stop fighting with my motherinlaw
[01:12.65]'Cause we need her too to win the war
[01:15.19]Old battle ax
[01:17.90]Now as I think of our great land
[01:19.57]Of the cities and towns and farming land
[01:21.61]There's so many good people working every day
[01:23.89]I know it ain't perfect but it will be some day
[01:26.07]Just give us a little time
[01:28.17]This is the reason that I want to fight
[01:30.12]Not because every thing's perfect or every thing's right
[01:32.39]No it's just the opposite I'm fighting because I want
[01:34.42]A better America with better laws
[01:37.23]And better homes and jobs and schools
[01:39.20]And no more Jim crow and no more rules
[01:41.48]Like
[01:42.54]You can't ride on this train 'cause you're a negro
[01:45.72]You can't live here 'cause you're a jew
[01:48.51]You can't work here 'cause you're a union man
[01:52.27]There's a line keeps running through my head
[01:54.47]I think it was something joe louis once said
[01:57.36]Said there's lots of things wrong
[01:58.70]But Hitler won't help 'em
[02:02.21]Now Mr President
[02:03.58]You're commanderinchief of our armed forces
[02:06.04]Ships and planes and the tanks and horses
[02:08.11]I guess you know best just where I can fight
[02:10.41]All I want to be is situated right
[02:12.31]To do the most damage
[02:14.45]I never was one to try and shirk
[02:16.62]And let the other fellow do all the work
[02:18.65]So when the time comes I'll be on hand
[02:20.67]And make good use of these two hands
[02:23.30]Quit playing this banjo around with the boys
[02:25.60]And exchange it for something that makes more noise
[02:29.44]So Mr President
[02:31.96]We've got this one big job to do
[02:33.95]That's lick Mr Hitler and when we're through
[02:36.07]Let no one else ever take his place
[02:38.17]To trample down the human race
[02:40.97]So what I want is you to give me a gun
[02:42.80]So we can hurry up and get the job done
