The Flood And The Storm - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

The year is nineteen and twenty kind friends[00:00:04]

And the great World's War we have won[00:00:08]

Old Kaiser Bill we've beat him once again[00:00:13]

In the smoke of the cannon and the gun[00:00:16]

Old von Hindenburg and his Royal German Army[00:00:21]

They are tramps in tatters and in rags[00:00:25]

Uncle Sammy has tied every nation in this world[00:00:29]

In his long old leather money bags[00:00:33]

Wilson caught a trip and a train into Paris[00:00:38]

Meetin' Lloyd George and Mr Clemenceau[00:00:43]

They said to Mr Wilson we've staked all of our claims[00:00:46]

There is nothing else for you[00:00:50]

I plowed more lands I built bigger fact'ries[00:00:55]

An' I stopped Hindenburg in his tracks[00:00:59]

You thank the Yanks by claimin' all the lands[00:01:03]

But you still owe your money to my bank[00:01:06]

Keep sending your ships across these waters[00:01:10]

We'll borrow all the money you can lend[00:01:14]

We must buy new clothes new plows and fact'ries[00:01:18]

And we need golden dollars for to spend[00:01:21]

Ever' dollar in the world well it rolled and it rolled[00:01:26]

And it rolled into uncle Sammy's door[00:01:30]

A few got richer and richer and richer[00:01:33]

But the poor folks kept but gettin' poor[00:01:37]

Well the workers in the world did fight a revolution[00:01:43]

To chase out the gamblers from their land[00:01:46]

Farmers an' peasants an' workers in the city[00:01:50]

Fought together on their five-year plans[00:01:53]

The soul and the spirit of the workers' revolution[00:01:57]

Spread across ever' nation in this world[00:02:00]

From Italy to China to Europe and to India[00:02:04]

An' the blood of the workers it did spill[00:02:07]

This spirit split the wind to Boston Massachussetts[00:02:11]

With Coolidge on the Governor's chair[00:02:15]

Troopers an' soldiers the guards and the spies[00:02:20]

Fought the workers that brought the spirit there[00:02:23]

Sacco and Vanzetti had preached to the workers[00:02:28]

They was carried up to Old Judge Thayer[00:02:31]

They was charged with killin' the payroll guards[00:02:35]

And they died in the Charlestown chair[00:02:39]

Well the world shook harder on the night they died[00:02:43]

Than 'twas shaken by that great World War[00:02:46]

More millions did march for Sacco and Vanzetti[00:02:50]

Than did march for the great war lords[00:02:54]

Well the peasants the farmers the towns and the cities[00:02:57]

An' the hills and the valleys they did ring[00:03:01]

Hindenburg an' Wilson an' Harding Hoover Coolidge[00:03:05]

Never heard this many voices sing[00:03:08]

The zigzag lightning the rumbles of the thunder[00:03:13]

And the singing of the clouds blowing by[00:03:16]

The flood and the storm for Sacco and Vanzetti[00:03:20]

Caused the rich man to pull his hair and cry[00:03:25]
