Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

He educated all the people
He demonstrated to the world
If a man will stand for his own land
He's got the strength of ten
And if we'd only learn the lesson
It could even be a blessin'
He and me might disagree
But we needn't go to shootin' again

And if soldier boys in every land said
"Hell, no, we won't go!" What do you say?
"Hell, no, we won't go!" Say it again!
"Hell, no, we won't go!"
I'll have to say in my own way
The only way that I know
That we learned power to the peoplе
And the power to know from teachеr Uncle Ho!

He educated all the people
He demonstrated to the world
If a man will stand for his own land
He's got the strength of ten
And if we'd only learn the lesson
It could even be a blessin'
He and me might disagree
But we needn't go to shootin' again

And if soldier boys in every land said
"Hell, no, we won't go!" Say it again!
"Hell, no, we won't go!" Once more!
"Hell, no, we won't go!"
I'll have to say in my own way
The only way that I know
That we learned power to the people
And the power to know from teacher Uncle Ho!
