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

You souls of Boston bow your heads[00:00:05]

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]

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[00:01:06]

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 car[00:01:45]

She swore Sacco was the bandit man[00:01:49]

It was twenty or thirty or fifty more[00:01:55]

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[00:02:12]

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[00:02:57]

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]

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[00:03:39]

People they cried and marched and sung[00:03:44]

Every tongue this world around[00:03:47]
