Train For Auschwitz - Tom Paxton/Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

I see a long train comin'

Across the Polish plains

The passengers it carries

Ain't 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 not 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
