You Souls Of Boston - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Written by:Woody Guthrie[00:00:01]
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[00:00:23]
Some bandits shot two pay clerks down[00:00:27]
On old pearl street in south braintree[00:00:32]
And they grabbed that money and rolled away[00:00:36]
Sacco and vanzetti got arrested then[00:00:42]
On a trolley car by the plain clothed men[00:00:46]
Carried down to brockton jail[00:00:51]
And laid away in a lonesome cell[00:00:54]
The folks in plymouth town did say[00:01:02]
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[00:01:14]
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 this fatal day[00:01:32]
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[00:01:46]
Car[00:01:48]
She swore sacco was the bandit man[00:01:49]
It was twenty or thirty or fifty more[00:01:56]
Said sacco was not in the robber's car[00:02:00]
Judge webster thayer stuck by eva splaine[00:02:04]
Said sacco was the guilty man[00:02:08]
Mrs sacco was heavy then with child[00:02:11]
She walked to sacco's cell and cried[00:02:15]
The morelli gang just down the corridor[00:02:19]
Signed confessions they killed the payroll guards[00:02:23]
We seen Mrs sacco pregnant there[00:02:29]
We heard her cry and tear her hair[00:02:33]
We had to ease our guilty hearts[00:02:37]
And admit we killed the payroll guards[00:02:41]
Judge webster thayer could not allow[00:02:45]
The morelli gang's confession to stop him now[00:02:49]
Sacco and vanzetti are union men[00:02:53]
And that verdict guilty must come in[00:02:56]
The bullet expert took the stand[00:03:01]
Said the bullets from the bodies of the two dead[00:03:04]
Men[00:03:06]
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]
Seven dark years come a cripplin' 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]
That summer's night in august the switch went down[00:03:38]
People they cried and marched and sung[00:03:44]
Every tongue this world around[00:03:47]
