Sacco's Letter To His Son - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Written by:Nicola Sacco/Pete Seeger[00:00:02]
If nothing happens they will electrocute us right after midnight[00:00:04]
Therefore here I am right with you with love[00:00:12]
And with open heart as I was yesterday[00:00:16]
Don't cry Dante for many many tears have been wasted[00:00:23]
As your mother's tears have been already wasted for seven years[00:00:30]
And never did any good[00:00:36]
So son instead of crying be strong be brave[00:00:40]
So as to be able to comfort your mother[00:00:48]
And when you want to distract her from the discouraging soulness[00:00:58]
You take her for a long walk in the quiet countryside[00:01:06]
Gathering flowers here and there[00:01:12]
And resting under the shade of trees beside the music of the waters[00:01:16]
The peacefulness of nature she will enjoy it very much[00:01:25]
And you will surely too[00:01:31]
But son you must remember don't use all yourself[00:01:35]
But down yourself just one step[00:01:43]
To help the weak ones at your side[00:01:47]
The weaker ones that cry for help the persecuted and the victim[00:02:10]
They are your friends friends of yours and mine[00:02:19]
They are the comrades that fight yes and sometimes fall[00:02:23]
Just as your father your father and Bartolo have fallen[00:02:31]
Have fought and fell yesterday for the conquest of joy[00:02:40]
Of freedom for all[00:02:47]
In the struggle of life you'll find you'll find more love[00:02:51]
And in the struggle you will be loved also[00:03:00]
