Christy Moore - Sacco & Vanzetti lyrics

Oh say there, did you here the news? Sacco
Worked at trimming shoes
Vanzetti was a travelling man
Pushed his cart round with his hand

Two good men's a long time gone
Sacco and Vanzetti are gone
Two good men's long time gone they left
Me here to sing this song
Sacco was born across the sea
Somewhere over in Italy
Vanzetti born of parents fine
Drank the best Italian wine
Sacco sailed the sea one day
Landed over in the Boston bay
Vanzetti sailed the ocean blue
Ended up in Boston too

Sacco was a family man
Sacco's wife three children had
Vanzetti was a dreaming man
His books were always in his hand
Sacco made his bread and butter being
The factory's best shoe cutter
Vanzetti worked both day and night
Showed the people how to fight

I'll tell you if you ask
Me about the pay-roll robbery
Two clerks were shot in the shoe factory
On the streets of old Braintree
I'll tell you the prosecutors'
Names: Katman, Admans, Williams, kane
Them and the judge were the best of
Friends did more tricks than circus clowns
The judge he told his friends around
He'd put them rebels down
Communist bastards was the name the judge
He gave these two fine men

Vanzetti docked in '98 slept
Along a dirty street
Showed the people how to organise now
In the electric chair he dies
All us people ought to be
Like Sacco & Vanzetti
Every day find ways to fight on the
Union side for the workers' right
I ain't got time to tell
The tales because the
Branch and the bulls are on my fail
I won't forget these men who died to
Show us people how to live
All you people in window lane sing
This song and sing it plain
Everybody here tonight singing this song
We'll get it right
