Suassos Lane Lyrics

The song Suassos Lane is performed by Woody Guthrie in the album named Ballads of Sacco & Vanzetti in the year 1996 .

Sua*sos Lane is just an alley
Up here in old north Plymouth,
You saw my fish cart
Roll here is Sua*sos Lane.

They said I killed him,
Said I killed the payroll carrier,
Over in South Braintree,
Thirty-Five miles from Sua*sos Lane.

My name's Lefevre Brini.
On the same day, Bart Vanzetti
Brought fish to Cherry Court,
One block from Sua*sos Lane.

My name is Joseph Rosen.
I am a woolen peddler.
I sold Vanzetti a roll of cloth
This day in Sua*sos Lane.

I'm Mrs. Alphonsine Brini.
Mister Rosen and Cart Vanzetti
Showed me the cloth with the big holes in it
One block from Sua*sos Lane.

My name is Melvin Corl.
I was painting my fishing schooner.
Vanzetti talked to me an hour
A mile or so from Sua*sos Lane.

How could I be in South Braintree
Killing men in front of the factory,
When all these friends and others saw me
Cart my fish up Sua*sos Lane?

I tell you working people
Fight hard for higher wages,
Fight to kill black market prices;
This is why you take my life.

I tell you working people
Fight hard for cleaner houses,
Fight hard for wife and children;
That's why you took my life.

Chorus (after every verse)

Goddbye my comrades,
Goodbye my north Plymouth,
Goodbye to Boston harbor,
Goodbye to Sua*sos Lane.
