70 Miles - Pete Seeger

Seventy miles of wind and spray

Seventy miles of water

Seventy miles of open bay--

It's a garbage dump

What's that stinky creek out there

Down behind the slum's back stair

Sludgy puddle sad and gray

Why man that's San Francisco Bay

Seventy miles of wind and spray

Seventy miles of water

Seventy miles of wind and spray

It's a garbage dump

Joe Ortega and the Spanish crew

Sailed across the ocean blue

Came into the mighty Bay

Stood on the decks and cried "Ole"

Seventy miles of open bay

Seventy miles of water

Seventy miles of wind and spray

It's a garbage dump

Fill it here fill it here

Docks and tidelands disappear

Shaky houses on the quaky ground

The builder he's Las Vegas bound

Seventy miles of wind and spray

Seventy miles of water

Seventy miles of open bay

It's a garbage dump

Dump the garbage in the Bay

City fathers say "sure you may"

When cries of anguish fill the air

We'll be off on the Riviere "

Seventy miles of wind and spray

Seventy miles of water

Seventy miles of open bay--

It's a garbage dump

Big Solano and the Montecelle'

Ferry boats I know them well

Creek and groan in their muddy graves

Remembering San Francisco Bay

Seventy miles of wind and spray

Seventy miles of water

Seventy miles of open bay--

It's a garbage dump
