sacco and vanzetti - dave burns lyrics

Loading...

say there, did you hear the news?
sacco worked at trimming shoes
vanzetti was a travelling man
pushed his cart ’round with his hands

sacco was born across the sea
somewhere over in italy
vanzetti born of parents fine
drank the best italian wine

two good mens a long time gone
sacco and vanzetti have gone
two good mens a long time gone
they left me here to sing this song
sacco sailed asea one day
landed up in boston bay
vanzetti sailed thе ocean blue
ended up in boston, too

sacco was a family man
sacco’s wifе, three children had
vanzetti was a dreaming man
books were always in his hand

two good mens a long time gone
sacco and vanzetti have gone
two good mens a long time gone
they left me here to sing this song

sacco made his bread and b*tter
being the factory’s best shoe cutter
vanzetti worked both day and night
showed the workers how to fight

i’ll tell you, if you ask me
about the payroll robbery
two clerks were shot in the shoe factory
on the streets of old braintree

two good mens a long time gone
sacco and vanzetti have gone
two good mens a long time gone
they left me here to sing this song
i’ll tell you the prosecutors’ names
hatman, adams, williams, cave
they and the judge were the best of friends
they did more tricks than circus clowns

the judge, he told his friends around
he was going to put them radicals down
‘anarchist b*st*rds’ was the name
the judge, he gave these two fine men

two good mens a long time gone
sacco and vanzetti have gone
two good mens a long time gone
they left me here to sing this song

vanzetti docked in ’98
he crept along the dirty street
he showed the workers organise
in the electric chair, he died

now all us people ought to be
like sacco and vanzetti
everyday, find ways to fight
on the union’s side, for the workers’ rights

two good mens a long time gone
sacco and vanzetti have gone
two good mens a long time gone
they left me here to sing this song
i ain’t got time to tell the tale
’cause the pigs and the bulls are on my tail
i won’t forget those men who died
to show us people how to live

now everybody here tonight
sing this song and get it right
all you people in cardiff town
sing this song and sing it loud

two good mens a long time gone
sacco and vanzetti have gone
two good mens a long time gone
they left me here to sing this song
