Two Good Men Lyrics

Two Good Men - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)

Written by:Woody Guthrie

Say there did you hear the news

Sacco worked at trimming shoes

Vanzetti was a peddling man

Pushed his fish cart with his hands

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Sacco Vanzetti a gone

 

Left me here to sing this song

 

Sacco was born across the sea

Somewhere over in Italy

Vanzetti was born of parents fine

Drank the best Italian wine

 

Sacco sailed the sea one day

Landed up in Boston Bay

 

Vanzetti sailed the ocean blue

Landed up in Boston too

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Left me here to sing this song

 

Sacco's wife three children had

Sacco was a family man

 

Vanzetti was a dreaming man

His book was always in his hand

 

Sacco earned his bread and butter

Being the factory's best shoe cutter

Vanzetti spoke both day and night

Told the workers how to fight

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good man a long time gone

 

Left me here to sing this song

 

I'll tell you if you ask me

'Bout this payroll robbery

 

Two clerks was killed by the shoe factory

 

On the street in south Braintree

 

Judge thayer told his friends around

He would cut the radicals down

 

Anarchist bastards was the name

Judge thayer called these two good men

 

I'll tell you the prosecutors' names

 

Katsman Adams Williams Kane

The judge and lawyers strutted down

They done more tricks than circus clowns

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Left me here to sing this song

 

Vanzetti docked here in 1908

He slept along the dirty streets

 

He told the workers Organize

And on the electric chair he dies

 

All you people ought to be like me

And work like Sacco and Vanzetti

And every day find ways to fight

On the union side for workers' rights

 

I've got no time to tell this tale

The dicks and bulls are on my trail

But I'll remember these two good men

That died to show me how to live

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Left me here to sing this song

 

All you people in Suassos Lane

 

Sing this song and sing it plain

 

All you folks that's coming along

 

Jump in with me and sing this song

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

Two good men a long time gone

 

 

Left me here to sing this song
