MrNormsHGW's video: The Train For Auschwitz - Tom Paxton cover by Jeff Cooper

I'm sure most know I like to do songs that are not mainstream along with the general popular favorites. I know most have their opinion on the war crimes of WWII, including this, so be it, I did this because, like the Al Stewert song (Roads To Moscow) I did before, it is part of our history, both the U.S. and the world. I did nothing special on this other then add a bit of verb, I just used the camera mic to see how good it would pick up with nothing plugged in. There is a flub or two but I've been in a hole lately and trying to pick things up, the sooner the better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I see a long train comin' across the Polish plains The passengers it carries aint comin' back again. This train is bound for Auschwitz Like many another one The passengers condemned to die But no crime have they done They are jammed into the boxcars So tight against the wall And in those cars the dead men stand There is no room to fall Now the reason they are dying I will explain to you Adolf Hitler has decided To exterminate the Jew He ships them off to Auschwitz The train unloads them there And standing by the railroad track They take their last breath of fresh air The S.S. troopers herd them Right down a well worn path Into a hall where they are told They are to take a bath When they're undressed they're led inside A giant shower room The door is sealed behind them And it also seals their doom Inside the room there drops a bomb Of Nazi poison gas And not one soul is left alive When fifteen minutes pass Now the men who did these awful crimes They wish they'd murdered more The only thing they're sorry for Is that they lost the war And hundreds of these murderers Still walk the earth today Just hoping for a chance to kill The ones that got away
