    Oh, say there, did you here the 
news?

    Sacco worked at trimming shoes,
        C                          
    Vanzetti was a travelling man, 
 G                              C
pushed his cart round with his hand.

 F                          C

Sacco and Vanzetti are gone,
 F                          C  
Two good men's a long time gone,

     C                             
    Sacco was born across the sea, 
 G                C
somewhere over in Italy,
        C                          
    Vanzetti born of parents fine, 
  G                     C
drank the best Italian wine.
     C                           
    Sacco sailed the sea one day, 
   G                      C
landed up in the Boston bay,
         C                         
    Vanzetti sailed the ocean blue,
  G                   C
 ended up in Boston, too.

Sacco and Vanzetti are gone,
 F                          C  
Two good men's a long time gone, 
        G               G7        C
they left me here to sing this song.

    Sacco was a family man,

Sacco's wife three children had,
        C                          
    Vanzetti was a dreaming man, 
   G                        C
his books were always in his hand.

    Sacco made his bread and butter
  G                           
 being the factory's best shoe 
  C
cutter,
        C                       
    Vanzetti worked both day and 
          G                    
night, showed the people how to 
    C
fight.

    C                          
    I'll tell you if you ask me 
   G                      C
about this pay-roll robbery,
          C                        
    two clerks were shot in the 
          G                        
shoe factory on the streets of old 
    C
Braintree.
    C                              
    I'll tell you the prosecutors' 
        G                       
names: Katman, Admans, Williams, 
  C
Kane,
      C
    them and the judge were the best
 of friends,
    G                          
    did more tricks than circus 
  C
clowns.

         C                       
    The judge he told his friends 
          G                        
around,       he'd put them rebels 
  C
down,
      C
    “Communist bastards" was the 
name,
          G                     
     the judge he gave these two 
       C
fine men.

       C
    I ain't got time to tell the 
tales,
        G                          
    because the branch and the 
             C
bulls are on my tail.
       C                        
    I won't forget these men who 
           G                    C
died to show us people how to live.
    C                              
    All you people in Window Lane, 
 G                           C
sing this song and sing it plain,
    C                        G 
    everybody here tonight, sing 
                           C
