Suassos Lane Lyrics

Woody Guthrie Suassos Lane

Suassos Lane is just an alley Up here in old north Plymouth, You saw my fish cart Roll here is Suassos Lane. They said I killed him, Said I killed the payroll carrier, Over in South Braintree, Thirty-Five miles from Suassos Lane. My name's Lefevre Brini. On the same day, Bart Vanzetti Brought fish to Cherry Court, One block from Suassos Lane. My name is Joseph Rosen. I am a woolen peddler. I sold Vanzetti a roll of cloth This day in 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. My name is Melvin Corl. I was painting my fishing schooner. Vanzetti talked to me an hour A mile or so from 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? 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 Suassos Lane.
