Sacco & Vanzetti - Live

Lyrics

Oh say there, did you here the news? Sacco worked at
 Trimming shoes.
 Vanzetti was a travelling man, pushed his cart round
 With his hand
 Two good men's a long time gone. Sacco and Vanzetti are
 Gone.
 Two good men's long time gone. They left me here to
 Sing this song
 Sacco was born across the sea, somewhere over in Italy.
 Vanzetti born of parents fine, drank the best Italian
 Wine.
 Sacco sailed the sea one day, landed over in the Boston
 Bay.
 Vanzetti sailed the ocean blue, ended up in Boston too.
 Sacco was a family man, Sacco's wife three children had
 Vanzetti was a dreaming man, his books were always in
 His hand.
 Sacco made his bread and butter being the factory's
 Best shoe cutter.
 Vanzetti worked both day and night, showed the people
 How to fight.
 I'll tell you if you ask me about the pay-roll robbery.
 Two clerks were shot in the shoe factory on the streets
 Of old Braintree
 I'll tell you the prosecutors' names: Katman, Admans,
 Williams, Kane.
 Them and the judge were the best of friends. Did more
 Tricks than circus clowns
 The judge he told his friends around. He'd put them
 Rebels down.
 Communist bastards was the name the judge he gave these
 Two fine men.
 Vanzetti docked in '98. Slept along a dirty street.
 Showed the people how to organise. Now in the electric
 Chair he dies.
 All us people ought to be like Sacco & Vanzetti.
 Every day find ways to fight on the union side for the
 Workers' right
 I ain't got time to tell the tales because the branch
 And the bulls are on my fail
 I won't forget these men who died to show us people how
 To live.
 All you people in window lane sing this song and sing
 It plain.
 Everybody here tonight singing this song we'll get it
 Right
