Lyrics Woody Guthrie – I Just Want To Sing Your Name

Text:

Oh, Sacco, Sacco
Oh, Nicola Sacco
Oh, Sacco, Sacco
I just want to sing your name

Sacco, Sacco, Sacco
Sacco, oh, Sacco, Nicola
Sacco, Sacco
I just want to sing your name

Oh, Rosie, Rosie
Oh, Miss Rosie Sacco
Oh, Rosie, Rosie
I just want to sing your name

I never did see you, see you
I never did get to meet you
I just heard your story, story
And I just want to sing your name

Hey, hey, Bart Vanzetti
Hey, hey, Bart Vanzetti
You made speeches for the workers, workers
Well, I just want to sing your name

Oh, Sacco, Vanzetti
Oh, Sacco, Vanzetti
Sacco, Sacco, Vanzetti
I just want to sing your name

Hey, Judge Webster Thayer
Ho, ho, Judge Webster Thayer
Hey, hey, old Judge Webster Thayer
I don’t want to sing your name

Bart Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco
Bart Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco

Come here lookin’ for the land of freedom
I just want to sing your name

Vanzetti sold fish around Plymouth Harbor
Sacco was a shoe factory’s best shoe-cutter
All my sons and all of my daughters
They’re gonna help me sing your name

Oh, Sacco, Sacco
Hey, hey, Bart Vanzetti
Your wife and kids and all your family
I just want to sing your name

Oh, Sacco, Vanzetti
Hey, Sacco, Vanzetti
Nicola Sacco, Bart Vanzetti
I just want to sing your name

Oh, ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho, ho
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Well, I just want to sing your name
