Old Judge Thayer - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Written by：Woody Guthrie[00:00:02]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:00:04]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:00:07]

Turn your key and set me free[00:00:10]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:00:12]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:00:16]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:00:18]

Turn your key and set me free[00:00:20]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:00:22]

The monkey unlocked the courthouse door[00:00:27]

The elephant oiled the hardwood floor[00:00:29]

In did jump the kangaroo[00:00:32]

In did hop the rabbits too[00:00:34]

Next in come the two baboons[00:00:39]

Next in rolled a dusty storm[00:00:41]

Next in waddled the polar bear[00:00:43]

To keep the judge and jury warm[00:00:44]

Everybody knows that the mocking bird[00:00:50]

Wrote down every word he heard[00:00:52]

The lawyers all were sly[00:00:54]

With foxy nose and a foxy eye[00:00:57]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:01:02]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:01:04]

Turn your key and set me free[00:01:05]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:01:07]

The 'possum used the big stiff broom[00:01:11]

Then he polished the new spittoon[00:01:14]

Up did smile the crocodile[00:01:16]

Said here comes the jury down the aisle[00:01:19]

The old lady catfish asked the trout[00:01:23]

What is this trial all about[00:01:26]

The little baby suckerfish up and said[00:01:29]

The judge has caught him a couple of reds[00:01:32]

The rattlesnake asked the bumble bee[00:01:36]

Whose this sacco and' vanzetti[00:01:38]

Are they the men said mammy quail[00:01:42]

That shot the clerks at the slater mill[00:01:45]

The mosquito sung out with his wings[00:01:51]

I was there and saw the whole blamed thing[00:01:52]

I saw the robbers fire their guns[00:01:57]

But I didn't see these men neither one[00:01:59]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:02:02]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:02:05]

Turn your key and set me free[00:02:07]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:02:09]

The big- eyed owl she looked around[00:02:15]

They say that sacco's cap was found[00:02:19]

Down on pearl street on the ground[00:02:22]

Where the payroll guards both got shot down[00:02:24]

That cap don't fit on sacco's head[00:02:29]

A big black crow flapped up and said[00:02:32]

They tried that cap on sacco here[00:02:36]

And it fell down around both his ears[00:02:38]

The camel asked the old giraffe[00:02:44]

Did these two fellows duck the draft[00:02:47]

By running down below the mexican line[00:02:49]

To keep from fighting on the rich man's side[00:02:53]

The limber duck did rattle his bill[00:02:59]

All the ducks and geese are flying still[00:03:02]

Down toward mexico's warm sun[00:03:07]

To try to dodge the rich man's gun[00:03:11]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:03:17]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:03:19]

Turn your key and set me free[00:03:21]

Old judge thayer take your shackle off of me[00:03:23]

Up did waddle the lucey goose[00:03:28]

I think these men ought to be turned loose[00:03:30]

But old judge thayer has swore to friends[00:03:33]

These men will get the chair or noose[00:03:37]

And when the guilty verdict came[00:03:40]

And seven years in jail they'd laid[00:03:42]

And when these two men there did die[00:03:46]

The animals met on the earth and sky[00:03:49]

Oh see what fear and greed can do[00:03:53]

See how it killed these sons so true[00:03:57]

Us varmints has got to get together too[00:04:02]

Before judge thayer kills me and you[00:04:06]
