Paroles de la chanson John Golden and the Lawrence Strike par Chansons prolétaires américaines
In Lawrence, when the starving masses struck for more to eat
And wooden-headed Wood tried the strikers to defeat,
To Sammy Gompers wrote and asked him what he thought,
And this is just the answer that the mailman brought :
A little talk --
A little talk with Golden
Makes it all right, all right;
He'll settle any strike,
If there's coin enough in sight;
Just take him up to dine
And everything is fine --
And wooden-headed Wood tried the strikers to defeat,
To Sammy Gompers wrote and asked him what he thought,
And this is just the answer that the mailman brought :
A little talk --
A little talk with Golden
Makes it all right, all right;
He'll settle any strike,
If there's coin enough in sight;
Just take him up to dine
And everything is fine --
A little talk with Golden
Makes it right, all right.
The preachers, cops and money-kings were working hand in hand,
The boys in blue, with stars and stripes were sent by Uncle Sam;
Still things were looking blue 'cause every striker knew
That weaving cloth with bayonets is hard to do
A little talk --
A little talk with Golden
Makes it all right, all right;
He'll settle any strike,
If there's coin enough in sight;
Just take him up to dine
And everything is fine --
Makes it right, all right.

John Golden had with Mr. Wood a private interview,
He told him how to bust up the "I double double U."
He came out in a while and wore the Golden smile.
He said: "I've got all labor leaders skinned a mile."

John Golden pulled a bogus strike with all his "pinks and stools."
He thought the rest would follow like a bunch of crazy fools.
But to his great surprise the "foreigners" were wise,
In one big solid union they were organized.
That's one time Golden did not
Make it right, all right;
In spite of all his schemes
The strikers won the fight.
When all the workers stand
United hand in hand,
The world with all its wealth
Makes it right, all right.

When all the workers stand
United hand in hand,
The world with all its wealth
Shall be at their command.
