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