[00:00.000] 作曲 : Joe Hill
[00:06.605]Please give me your attention, I’ll introduce to you
[00:11.994]A man that is a credit to “Our Red White and Blue,”
[00:17.177]His head is made of lumber, and solid as a rock;
[00:22.432]He is a common worker and his name is Mr. Block.
[00:28.436]And Block he thinks he may
[00:31.815]Be president some day.
[00:37.556]Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[00:41.650]You take the cake, you make me ache.
[00:46.096]Tie a rock on your block and then jump in the lake,
[00:50.308]Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
[00:55.132]Yes, Mr. Block is lucky; he found a job, by gee!
[00:59.947]The sharks got seven dollars, for job and fare and fee.
[01:04.568]They shipped him to a desert and dumped him with his truck,
[01:09.764]But when he tried to find his job, he sure was out of luck,
[01:15.259]He shouted, “That’s too raw,
[01:19.197]I’ll fix them with the law.”
[01:25.048]Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[01:29.080]You take the cake, you make me ache.
[01:33.589]Tie a rock on your block and then jump in the lake,
[01:37.768]Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
[01:59.594]Poor Block he died one evening, I’m very glad to state,
[02:04.700]He climbed the golden ladder up to the pearly gate.
[02:09.576]He said, “Oh Mister Peter, one word I’d like to tell,
[02:14.758]I’d like to meet the Astorbilts and John D Rockefell.”
[02:20.681]Old Pete said, “Is that so?
[02:24.426]You’ll meet them down below.”
[02:30.005]Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[02:33.976]You take the cake, you make me ache.
[02:38.363]Tie a rock on your block and then jump in the lake,
[02:42.878]Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
[02:46.849]Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.

作曲 : Joe Hill
Please give me your attention, I’ll introduce to you
A man that is a credit to “Our Red White and Blue,”
His head is made of lumber, and solid as a rock;
He is a common worker and his name is Mr. Block.
And Block he thinks he may
Be president some day.
Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
You take the cake, you make me ache.
Tie a rock on your block and then jump in the lake,
Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
Yes, Mr. Block is lucky; he found a job, by gee!
The sharks got seven dollars, for job and fare and fee.
They shipped him to a desert and dumped him with his truck,
But when he tried to find his job, he sure was out of luck,
He shouted, “That’s too raw,
I’ll fix them with the law.”
Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
You take the cake, you make me ache.
Tie a rock on your block and then jump in the lake,
Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
Poor Block he died one evening, I’m very glad to state,
He climbed the golden ladder up to the pearly gate.
He said, “Oh Mister Peter, one word I’d like to tell,
I’d like to meet the Astorbilts and John D Rockefell.”
Old Pete said, “Is that so?
You’ll meet them down below.”
Oh Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
You take the cake, you make me ache.
Tie a rock on your block and then jump in the lake,
Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
Kindly do that for Liberty’s sake.
