I'm standin' on the rock, Vanzetti
Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti
Standin' on the rock, Vanzetti
Where people like you have stood
I see the tourists, Vanzetti
Around your Plymouth Rock
Black glasses, sun goggles, and 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
These tourists don't see you, Vanzetti
The salesmen and gamblers' on tour
Your footprints are dim an' your trail has sprung weeds
And their tourist map don't show you there
The trade union workers, Vanzetti
Will vacation here and will tour
This rock, and this town, and Plymouth around
When statues have souls like yours
Your picture is painted, Vanzetti
Your words are carved 'round the frames
Your songs and your poems and workin' folks' dreams
Will flame with our greatest of names
Your name I'll paint on my porters
My streets, my mountains and shops
Your hopes that you hoped and the dreams that you dreamt
I'll see that your work never stops
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 fish that end up on this dock
I'll scatter your words on my waters
To the ships and the fishes and gulls
I'll cast your fish cart in metal so fine
And push it around this world
