此曲融合 Mississippi Hill Country 藍調風格與台灣的三弦音樂，梳理遷徙海外的華人勞動者以及「僑批」歷史，對應菲律賓、墨⻄哥、加勒比海與南美的移民歷程。 I set out running I left everything behind On a boat to Luzon I couldn’t help but cry I set out running I left everything behind Cry for my family In a distant land I send them money Whenever I can They work me so hard I barely feel like a man Landed in Mexico Where they had blood in their eyes In a mess of revolution They beat me, robbed me blind From Luzon to Mexico, They robbed me beat me blind Standing at the border Hills shine like gold Hills fulls of promise Of a happy home If the police don’t catch me That’s where I’m going to make my home This life of running is not for me So I let my mind drift way across the sea How long must I keep drifting like a lost ship at sea?
