Lyrics Sacco & 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.
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
