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]
Let me taste it and call back to mind[00:00:06]
Once more in my thoughts once more to my soul[00:00:10]
This story as great if not greater than all[00:00:16]
The ap news on june 24 th[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]
To arrest sacco and vanzetti there[00:00:31]
The article tell how earl j vaugh[00:00:36]
Is now retiring as officer of law[00:00:40]
This cop goes down in my history[00:00:43]
For arresting sacco and vanzetti that day[00:00:46]
Twas nineteen and twenty the fifth of may[00:00:51]
The cop and some buddies took these two men away[00:00:55]
Off of the car and out and down[00:00:59]
Down to the jail brockton town[00:01:03]
There's been a killing and robbery[00:01:08]
At slater morrill's shoe factory[00:01:11]
You two gents are carrying guns[00:01:15]
And you dodged the draft when the war did come[00:01:18]
Yes oh yes '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[00:01:30]
So we crossed the border to keep out of sight[00:01:33]
You men are known as radical sons[00:01:37]
You must be killers you both carry guns[00:01:40]
I am a night watchman my friend peddles fish[00:01:44]
He carries his gun when he's go lots of cash[00:01:47]
Oh pour me a glass of germany's beer[00:01:52]
Russia's hot vodka strong and clear[00:01:55]
Oh 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 did pass by[00:02:14]
And the ones that spoke for them was a hundred and five[00:02:19]
Out of the rest about fifty just guessed[00:02:24]
And out of the five that were 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 one this one uncertain and afraid[00:02:38]
She saw the carload of robbers she said[00:02:41]
And one year later she remembered his face[00:02:45]
After seeing this car for a second and a half[00:02:48]
She told of his hand his gun his ears[00:02:53]
She told of his shirt and the cut of his hair[00:02:56]
She remembered his eyes his lips his cheeks[00:02:59]
And eva splaine's tale sent these men to the chair[00:03:02]
I was right here in boston the night they died[00:03:07]
I never seen such a sight in my life[00:03:10]
I thought those crowds would pull down the town[00:03:14]
I was hoping 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 chase him around[00:03:25]
I hoped they'd run him around the stump[00:03:28]
And stick him with devils tails 'bout every jump[00:03:30]
