lirik lagu stung right – joe hill
[verse 1]
when i was hiking ’round the town to find a job one day
i saw a sign that thousand men were wanted right away
to take a trip around the world in uncle sammy’s fleet
i signed my name a dozen times upon a great big sheet
[chorus]
i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g
stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that’s me
when my term is over, and again i’m free
there’ll be no more trips around the world for me
[verse 2]
the man he said, “the u. s. fleet, that is no place for slaves
the only thing you have to do is stand and watch the waves.”
but in the morning, five o’clock, they woke me from my snooze
to scrub the deck and polish br-ss, and shine the captain’s shoes
one day a dude in uniform to me commenced to shout
i simply plugged him in the jaw, and knocked him down and out;
they slammed me right in irons then and said, “you are a case.”
on bread and water then i lived for twenty-seven days
[chorus]
i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g
stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that’s me
when my term is over, and again i’m free
there’ll be no more trips around the world for me
[verse 3]
one day the captain said, “today i’ll show you something nice
all hands line up, we’ll go ash0r- and have some exercise.”
he made us run for seven miles as fast as we could run
and with a packing on our back that weighed a half a ton
[chorus]
i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g
stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that’s me
when my term is over, and again i’m free
there’ll be no more trips around the world for me
[verse 4]
some time ago when uncle sam he had a war with spain
and many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain
not all were k!lled by bullets, though; no, not by any means
the biggest part that were k!lled by armour’s pork and beans
