We Welcome To Heaven - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
We welcome to heaven Sacco and Vanzetti[00:00:12]
Two men that have won the highest of seats[00:00:17]
Come let me show you the world that you've come through[00:00:24]
It's a funny old world an' I'm sure you'll admit[00:00:30]
If you wear rags on earth you're a hobo[00:00:36]
If you wear satin they call you a thief[00:00:41]
If you save money they'll call you a miser[00:00:47]
If you spend money you live on relief[00:00:52]
If you work hard of course you are lowly[00:00:59]
And if you're a loafer of course you're no good[00:01:04]
If you stay sober you're known as a sissy[00:01:09]
An' if you drink liquor it goes to your head[00:01:13]
If you are fat they'll call you a glutton[00:01:21]
If you stay skinny they'll call you a runt[00:01:26]
If you laugh they'll say you're an idiot[00:01:31]
An' if you cry they'll ask you to stop[00:01:37]
If you chase women they'll call you a wolfer[00:01:42]
If you don't chase them they'll call you no good an' afraid[00:01:47]
If you chase men they'll call you down-harden'[00:01:52]
An' if you don't chase them they'll call you an old maid[00:01:58]
If you eat your meat fried they'll tell you to boil it[00:02:04]
Then if you boil it they'll say it should broil[00:02:09]
An' if you don't eat meat and eat only green things[00:02:14]
They'll ask you what's wrong with the brain in your skull[00:02:20]
Well if you work for wages you support the rich capitalist[00:02:26]
And if you don't work you're a lumpen to them[00:02:31]
And if you play the gamble of course you're a gambler[00:02:36]
An' if you don't gamble you never do win[00:02:41]
If you stay poor nobody comes courting[00:02:47]
If you get rich well you can't find a mate[00:02:53]
If you get married you're wrecking your happiness[00:02:58]
And if you stay single you walk to your grave[00:03:04]
If you die in your cradle it's a sad misfortune[00:03:10]
If you live to old age well it's harder and worse[00:03:16]
If you read the papers you know it is many[00:03:21]
That take their lives daily when they empty their purse[00:03:26]
There's traders and trappers and shippers and hopers[00:03:35]
Sacco and Vanzetti in America's fair lands[00:03:39]
There's hoppers and croppers and robbers an' dopers[00:03:45]
And millions of folks with just two empty hands[00:03:51]
You come the straight road Sacco and Vanzetti[00:03:57]
You fought with the lord on his most private grounds[00:04:02]
He hired his courts and his babblers against you[00:04:08]
But I'm here to say you went up and not down[00:04:14]
