Thread Name: Origin: Two Good Arms (Charlie King)
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Two Good Arms
PS. I'm surprised the song isn't in the DT. There is a third verse...and Judge Thayer's hand was on the gavel, not the gallows.
Who will remember, this good shoemaker Who will remember this poor fish peddler Who will remember all those strong arms and hands That never once found justice in the hands that rule this land
(final chorus) And all who knew these two good men Knew they never had to rob or kill Each had lived by his own two hands And they 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
That's from memory so I apologize for any glitches.
