[ti:Vanzetti's Letter] [ar:Woody Guthrie] [al:Hunting For Good] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Vanzetti's Letter - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里) [00:01.48]Written by:Woody Guthrie [00:02.97]The year it is 1927 [00:06.93]An' the day is the third day of may [00:11.21]Town is the city called Boston an' our address this dark Dedham jail [00:18.41]To your honor [00:19.63]The Governor Fuller to the council of Massachussetts state [00:26.27]We Bartolomo Vanzetti an' Nicola Sacco do say [00:34.08]Confined to our jail here at Dedham an' under the sentence of death [00:41.11]We pray you do exercise your powers an' look at the facts of our case [00:48.12]We do not ask you for a pardon [00:51.45]For a pardon would admit of our guilt [00:55.18]Since we are both innocent workers we have no guilt to admit [01:02.06]We are both born by parents in Italy can't speak English too well [01:09.37]Our friends of labor are writin' these words back of the barsin our cell [01:17.08]Our friends say if we speak too plain sir we may turn your feelings away [01:24.32]Widen these canyons between us but we risk our life to talk plain [01:31.69]We think sir that each human bein' is in [01:35.41]Close touch with all of man's kind [01:38.32]We think sir that each human bein' knows right from the wrong in his mind [01:46.33]We talk to you here as a man sir even knowing our opinions divide [01:53.03]We didn't kill the guards at South Braintree nor dream of such a terrible crime [02:00.87]We call your eye to this fact sir [02:03.94]We work with our hand and our brain [02:07.40]These robberies an' killings were done sir by professional bandit men [02:14.49]Sacco has been a good cutter Mrs Sacco their money has saved [02:21.23]I Vanzetti l could have saved money but I gave it as fast as received [02:28.46]I'm a dreamer a speaker an' a writer I fight on the working folks' side [02:35.46]Sacco is Boston's fastest shoe trimmer and he talks to the husbands and wives [02:41.62]We hunted your land and we found it hoped we'd find freedom of mind [02:48.66]Built up your land [02:50.08]This land of the free an' this is what we come to find [02:55.08]If we was those killers good Governor we'd not be so dumb and so blind [03:01.76]To pass out our handbills [03:03.39]And make workers' speeches out here by the scene of the crime [03:08.83]Those fifteen thousands of dollars the lawyers and judge said we took [03:15.33]Do we sir dress up like two gentlemen with that much in our pocketbook [03:21.65]Our names are on the long list of radicals of the Federal Government sir [03:28.33]They said that we needed watching as we peddled our literature [03:34.56]Judge Thayer's mind's made up sir when we walked into the court [03:40.93]Well he called us anarchistic bastards said lots of other things worse [03:49.36]They brought people down there to Brockton to look through the bars of our cell [03:56.77]Made us act out the motions of the killers [03:59.79]And still not so many could tell [04:04.09]Before the trial ever started the jury foreman did say [04:10.90]An' he cussed us an' said damn they well they'd ought to hang anyway [04:18.35]Our fatal mistake was carryin' our guns about which we had to tell lies [04:25.17]To keep the police from raiding the homes of workers believing like us [04:32.49]A labor paper or a picture a letter from a radical friend [04:39.36]An old cheap gun like you keep around home would torture good women and men [04:45.85]We all feared deporting and whipping torments to make us confess [04:52.32]The place where the workers are meeting the house your name and address [04:59.57]Well the officers said we feared something which they called a consciousness of guilt [05:06.88]We was afraid of wreckin' more homes and seein' more workers' blood spilt [05:13.87]Well the very first question they asked us was not about killing the clerks [05:20.22]But things about our labor movement and how our trade union works [05:27.39]Oh how could our jury see clearly when the lawyers and judges and cops [05:34.03]Called us low type Italians said we looked just like regular wops [05:40.88]Draft dodgers gun packers anarchists these vulgar sounding names [05:47.41]Blew dust in the eyes of jurors the crowd in the courtroom the same [05:53.90]We do not believe sir that torture beatings and killings and pains [06:00.57]Will lift man's eyes to a highest of view an' break his bilbos and chains [06:07.53]We believe that you must struggle for freedom before your freedom you'll gain [06:14.25]Freedom from fear sir and greed sir and your freedom to think higher things [06:21.20]This fight sir is not a new battle we did not make it last night [06:27.64]'Twas fought by God win Shelly Pisacane Tolstoy and Christ [06:33.82]It's bigger than the atoms [06:35.23]An' the sands of the desert planets that roll in the sky [06:40.32]Till workers get rid of their robbers well [06:43.33]It's worse sir to live than to die [06:46.44]Your excellency we're not askin' pardon but askin' to be set free [06:52.55]With liberty and pride sir and honor and a pardon we will not receive [06:59.65]A pardon you given to criminals who've broken the laws of the land [07:06.04]We don't ask you for pardon sir because we are innocent men [07:13.14]Well if you shake your head [07:14.77]No dear Governor of course our doom it is sealed [07:19.77]We hold up our heads like two sons of men [07:22.64]Seven years in these cells of steel [07:26.78]We walk down this corridor to death sir like workers have walked it before [07:33.18]But we'll work in our working class struggle if we live a thousand lives more
