You Souls Of Boston - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Written by：Woody Guthrie[00:00:02]

You souls of boston bow your heads[00:00:04]

Our two most noble sons are dead[00:00:09]

Sacco and vanzetti both have died[00:00:14]

And drifted out with the boston tide[00:00:19]

'Twas on the outskirts of this town[00:00:24]

Some bandits shot two pay clerks down[00:00:28]

On old pearl street in south braintree[00:00:32]

They grabbed that money and rolled away[00:00:37]

Sacco and vanzetti got arrested then[00:00:42]

On a trolley car by the plainclothesmen[00:00:46]

Carried down to the brockton jail[00:00:51]

And laid away in a lonesome cell[00:00:54]

The folks in plymouth town did say[00:01:03]

Vanzetti sold fish in suassos lane[00:01:07]

His fish cart was thirty two miles away[00:01:11]

From old pearl street this fatal day[00:01:15]

Sacco's family hugged and kissed their dad[00:01:21]

Said take this family picture to the passport man[00:01:25]

He was in that office forty- odd miles away[00:01:29]

From old pearl street his fatal day[00:01:33]

One lady by the name of eva splaine[00:01:38]

Saw the robbers jump in their car and drive away[00:01:41]

For a second and a half she seen this speeding car[00:01:46]

And she swore sacco was the bandit man[00:01:50]

It was twenty or thirty or fifty more[00:01:56]

Said sacco was not in that robbers' car[00:02:00]

Judge webster thayer stuck by eva splaine[00:02:04]

Said sacco was their guilty man[00:02:08]

Mrs sacco was heavy then with child[00:02:12]

She walked to sacco's cell and cried[00:02:16]

The morelli gang just down the corridor[00:02:19]

Signed confessions they killed those payroll guards[00:02:23]

We seen mrs sacco pregnant there[00:02:30]

We heard her cry and tear her hair[00:02:33]

We had to ease our guilty hearts[00:02:38]

And admit we killed those payroll guards[00:02:41]

Judge webster thayer could not allow[00:02:46]

The morelli gang's confession to stop him now[00:02:50]

Sacco and vanzetti are union men[00:02:53]

And that verdict guilty must come in[00:02:57]

The bullet expert took the stand[00:03:01]

Said the bullets from the bodies of the two dead men[00:03:04]

Could not have been fired from sacco's gun[00:03:08]

Nor from vanzetti's gun have come[00:03:12]

It was sixty- three days this trial did last[00:03:18]

Then seven dark years come a crippling past[00:03:22]

Locked down in that mean old charlestown jail[00:03:26]

Then by an electric spark were killed[00:03:30]

Old boston city was a dark old town[00:03:34]

This summer's night in june the switch went down[00:03:39]

The people they cried and marched and sung[00:03:44]

In every tongue this world around[00:03:47]
