Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Facing the Chair (Andy Irvine) From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 Aug 16 - 09:25 PM "Swassels Lane" should be "Suassos Lane." Woody Guthrie wrote a song called "Suassos Lane" about Sacco & Vanzetti. It has the chorus: Goodbye my comrades, Goodbye my north Plymouth, Goodbye to Boston harbor, Goodbye to Suassos Lane. —which Andy Irvine apparently borrowed and modified. |

Subject: Lyr Add: FACING THE CHAIR (Andy Irvine) From: Wolfgang Hell Date: 07 Jan 98 - 05:47 AM The following song is from the "Patrick Street 2" CD. I hope that Andy Irvine, the man who wrote the song, does not mind it being posted here. I have marked the bits where I'm not sure to have the correct transcription. Please feel free to improve my transcription. FACING THE CHAIR
I came to this land in 1908 ("nineteen-O-eight")
The department of justice was (rambling up) reds
Well, our jury, God help us, what chance did they have,
Well, a dog, that kills chicken you wouldn't convict
If these things hadn't happened we might have lived out our lives Wolfgang |
