We Welcome to Heaven lyrics

by

Woody Guthrie


We welcome to heaven Sacco and Vanzetti
Two men that have won the highest of seats
Come, let me show you the world that you've come through
It's a funny old world, an' I'm sure you'll admit
If you wear rags on earth, you're a hobo
If you wear satin, they call you a thief
If you save money, they'll call you a miser
If you spend money, you live on relief

If you work hard, of course, you are lowly
And if you're a loafer, of course, you're no good
If you stay sober, you're known as a sissy
An' if you drink liquor, it goes to your head

If you are fat, they'll call you a glutton
If you stay skinny, they'll call you a runt
If you laugh, they'll say you're an idiot
An' if you cry, they'll ask you to stop

If you chase women, they'll call you a wolfer
If you don't chase them, they'll call you no good -- an' afraid
If you chase men, they'll call you down-harden' (?)
An' if you don't chase them, they'll call you an old maid

If you eat your meat fried, they'll tell you to boil it
Then, if you boil it, they'll say it should broil
An' if you don't eat meat, and eat only green things
They'll ask you what's wrong with the brain in your skull
