Sacco and Vanzetti - Christy Moore

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
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 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
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
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
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
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
