Told about a Patrolman named Earl J. Vaugh
He stepped on a Main Street Trolley Car
To arrest Sacco and Vanzetti there
The article tell how Earl J. Vaugh
Is now retiring as officer of law
This cop goes down in my history
For arresting Sacco and Vanzetti that day
"Twas nineteen and twenty, the fifth of May
The cop and some buddies took these two men away
Off of the car and out and down
Down to the jail Brockton town
There's been a killing and robbery
At Slater Morrill's shoe factory
You two gents are carrying guns

Yes, oh yes, 'tis so, 'tis so
We made for the borders of Mexico
The rich man's war we could not fight
So we crossed the border to keep out of sight
