Woody Guthrie Suassos Lane lyrics

Suassos Lane is just an alley
Up here in old North Plymouth
You saw my fish cart
Roll here is Suassos Lane

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

They said I killed him
Said I killed the payroll carrier
Over in South Braintree
Thirty-Five miles from Suassos Lane

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

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

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

My name is Joseph Rosen
I am a woolen peddler
I sold Vanzetti a roll of cloth
This day in Suassos Lane

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

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

Goodbye my comrades

Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

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

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos 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 Suassos Lane?

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my North Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

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

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my north Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane

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

Goodbye my comrades
Goodbye my north Plymouth
Goodbye to Boston harbor
Goodbye to Suassos Lane
