Root Hog And Die Lyrics - Artist : Guthrie, Woody
Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die
Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die Train wheel can roll me, cushions can ride Ships on the oceans, planes in the skies Storms they can come, Lord, flood waters rise But I've got to get to Boston, or two men'll die Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die Nicola Sacco, a shoe factory hand Bartolomo Vanzetti, a trade union man Judge Webster Thayer swore they'll die But I've got to get to Boston, 'fore sundown tonight Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die I might walk around, an' I might roll or fly Walkin' down this road shoulder, tears in my eyes They never done a wrong in their lives But Judge Webster Thayer says they must die Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die Well, some come to Boston to see all the sights Some come to Boston to drink and to fight Sacco and Vanzetti told the workers "Organize!" So Judge Webster Thayer says they must die Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die Oh, Mr. Wagon Driver, please let me ride That's a nice-pacin' team that you got here all right Did you ever hear such a thing in your life? Judge Webster Thayer killin' two men tonight Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die Hey, Mr. Engineer, lemme ride your train Throw in your coal an' steam up your steam If I can't ride the shack, please lemme ride the blind Got to get to Boston 'fore sundown tonight Root hog and die, friend, root hog and die Gotta get to Boston, root hog and die Sacco and Vanzetti die at sundown tonight So I've got to get to Boston, root hog and die |
