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.
