Red Wine - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Written by：Woody Guthrie[00:00:01]

Oh pour me a drink of Italian red wine[00:00:03]

And let me taste it and call back to mind[00:00:06]

Once more in my thoughts and once more in my soul[00:00:10]

This story as great if not greater than all[00:00:15]

The AP news on June 24th[00:00:21]

Told about a patrolman named Earl J Vaugh[00:00:24]

He stepped on a Main Street trolley car[00:00:28]

And arrested Sacco and Vanzetti there[00:00:31]

The article tells how Earl J Vaugh[00:00:36]

Is now retiring as an officer of law[00:00:39]

This cop goes down in my history[00:00:43]

For arresting Sacco and Vanzetti that day[00:00:46]

It was 1920 the 5th of May[00:00:51]

The cop and some buddies took these men away[00:00:54]

Off of the car and out and down[00:00:59]

And down to the jail in Brockton town[00:01:03]

There's been a killing and a robbery[00:01:08]

At the Slater Morrill shoe factory[00:01:11]

You two gents are carryin' guns[00:01:14]

And you dodged the draft when the war did come[00:01:17]

Yes 'tis so 'tis so 'tis so[00:01:22]

We made for the borders of Mexico[00:01:25]

The rich man's war we could not fight[00:01:29]

So we crossed the border to keep out of sight[00:01:32]

You men are known as radical sons[00:01:37]

You must be killers you both carry guns[00:01:40]

I'm a night watchman my friend peddles fish[00:01:44]

And he carries his gun when he's got lots of cash[00:01:47]

Oh pour me a glass of Germany's beer[00:01:52]

Russia's hot vodka so strong and clear[00:01:55]

Pour me a glass of Palestine's Hock[00:01:59]

Or just a moonshiner's bucket of chock[00:02:02]

Now let me think and let me see[00:02:06]

How these two men were found guilty[00:02:10]

How a hundred and sixty witnesses passed by[00:02:14]

And the ones spoke for them was a hundred and five[00:02:19]

Out of the rest about fifty just guessed[00:02:24]

Out of the five that was put to the test[00:02:27]

Only the story of one held true[00:02:30]

After a hundred and fifty nine got through[00:02:33]

And on this one uncertain and afraid[00:02:38]

She saw the carload of robbers she said[00:02:41]

One year later she remembered his face[00:02:45]

After seein' his car for a second and a half[00:02:48]

She told of his hand an' his gun an' his ears[00:02:53]

She told of his shirt an' the cut of his hair[00:02:56]

Remembered his eyes an' his lips an' his cheeks[00:02:59]

And Eva Splaine's tale sent these men to the chair[00:03:02]

I was right there in Boston the night that they died[00:03:07]

I never did see such sight in my life[00:03:10]

I thought the crowds would pull down the town[00:03:14]

An' I was hopin' they'd do it and change things around[00:03:17]

I hoped they'd pull Judge Thayer on down[00:03:21]

From off of his bench and they'd chase him around[00:03:24]

Hoped they'd run him around this stump[00:03:27]

And stick him with a devil tails about ever' jump[00:03:30]

Wash this tequila down with gin[00:03:35]

An' a double straight shot of your black Virgin rum[00:03:38]

My ale bubbled out an' my champagne is flat[00:03:42]

I hear the man comin' I'm grabbin' my hat[00:03:46]
