Suassos Lane |
Goodbye, my comrades |
Goodbye, my north Plymouth |
Goodbye to the Boston harbor |
Goodbye, Suassos Lane |
Suassos Lane is just an alley |
Up here in old north Plymouth |
You saw my fish cart |
Roll here in Suassos Lane |
They say I killed him |
Said I killed the payroll carrier |
Over there in South Braintree |
Thirty-five miles from Suassos Lane |
My name is Lefevre Brini |
On the same day, Bart Vanzetti |
Brought fish to the Cherry Court |
One block from Suassos Lane |
My name is Joseph Rosen |
I am a woolen peddler |
I sold Vanzetti a roll of cloth |
That day in Suassos Lane |
I’m Mrs. Alphonsine Brini |
Mr. Rosen and Bart Vanzetti |
Showed me the cloth with big hole in it |
One block from Suassos Lane |
My name is Melvin Corl |
I’s paintin' my fishin' schooner |
Vanzetti talked to me an hour |
About a mile from Suassos Lane |
How could I be in South Braintree |
Killin' men there in front of the fact’ry |
When all these friends and others saw me |
Cartin' my fish in Suassos Lane? |
I tell you workin' people |
Fight hard for higher wages |
Fight to kill blackmarket prices |
This is why you take my life |
I tell you workin' people |
Fight hard for cleaner houses |
Fight hard for the wife and children |
That’s why they took my life |
Suassos Lane is just an alley |
Up here in old north Plymouth |
You saw my fish cart |
Roll here in Suassos Lane |
