The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Huelga! Huelga!
Leave the grapes alone.
Growers and distillers,
They have hearts of stone.
They pay starvation wages,
Their lives are rich and fine.
Huelga, huelga,
Do not cross the line.
When we try to organize
They throw us in the pen,
If we have a union
We can live like men,
They'd rather see us hungry
While they get rich on wine.
Huelga, huelga,
Do not cross the line.
Support of our unions
Is everybody's task.
One forty an hour
Isn't much to ask,
Make the growers understand
We're going to win this time,
Huelga, huelga,
Do not cross the line.
Don't drink Schenley's whisky
Or any Schenley brand,
I. W. Harper,
Seager's, Ron Cruzan,
Ancient Age or Cutty Sark
Or Cresta Blanca Wine,
Huelga, huelga,
Do not cross the line.
Keep away from Roma,
Don't drink Cook's Champagne,
Do not buy the scabby grapes,
Conditions are a shame.
Support Delano strikers,
Their cause is yours and mine,
Huelga, huelga,
Do not cross the line.
