Who will remember Judge Webster Thayer
One hand on the gavel, the other resting on the chair
Who will remember the hateful words he said
Speaking to the living in the language of the dead

chorus
And all who know these two good hands
Know they never had to rob or kill
I can live by these two good hands and live well
And all my life I have struggled
To rid the world of all such crimes.

Who will remember the hand upon the switch, that
Took the lives of two good men in the service of the rich
Who will remember the one who gave the nod, or the
Chaplain standing near at hand to invoke the name of God

chorus

We will remember this good shoemaker
We will remember this poor fish peddler
We will remember all the strong arms and hands
That never once found justice
in the hands that rule this land

last chorus-
And all who knew these two good men
Knew thay never had to rob or kill
Each had lived by his own two hands
and they had lived well
And all their lives they had struggled
To rid the earth of all such crimes
and all our lives we must struggle
to rid the earth of all such crimes
