Vanzetti's Rock Lyrics - Woody Guthrie

I'm standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Where men like you have stood 

I see the tourists, Vanzetti 

Around your Plymouth Rock 

Black glasses, sun goggles, an' glasses 

Smoked glasses to block out the light 

I see 'em come here as you've seen 'em 

I see lots more than you saw 

I see 'em in fast running cars 

You seen 'em in wagons and carts 

I'm standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Where men like you have stood

These tourists don't see you, Vanzetti 

The salesmen and gamblers' on tour 

Your footprints are dim an' your trail has sprung weeds 

An' their tourist map don't show you there 

The trade union workers, Vanzetti 

Will vacation here and will tour 

This rock, an' this town, an' Plymouth around 

When statues have souls like yours 

I'm standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Where men like you have stood 

Your picture is painted, Vanzetti 

Your words are carved 'round the frames 

Your songs an' your poems an' workin' folks' dreams 

Will flame with our greatest of names

Your name I'll paint on my porters 

My streets, my mountains an' shops 

Your hopes that you hoped an' the dreams that you dreamt 

I'll see that your work never stops 

I'm standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Where men like you have stood 

Those talks for the workers, Vanzetti 

I'll chisel 'em down on the rock 

I'll tell every worker to fight like you fought 

Like the Pilgrims that docked on this rock 

I'll scatter your words on my waters 

To the ships an' the fishes an' gulls 

I'll cast your fish cart in metal so fine 

An' push it around this world 

I'm standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Where men like you have stood 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti 

Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti
