I'll sing you a song about a southern where the devil had his rule When marshalls an angry mob to send one man to school His name was jimmy The tide he helped to For he to stay on that terrible day The land was to learn
was blood, red blood, on their hands, Yellow on their clothes What they they were doing, Only God and the devil There was hate, hate, in their hearts, Shot from their like a gun And as they threw their and bricks, screamed, "see what you have done!"
The governor made a he would keep the trouble down But when the mob got no troopers could be found And men filled with hate and fear, They into the night The rebel flag in the air The of state's rights
There was blood, red blood, on hands, Yellow dirt on their What they thought they doing, Only God and the devil There was hate, hate, in their hearts, Shot from their souls a gun And as they their stones and bricks, They screamed, "see you have done!"
Gas was into the mob after each attack And though the gas was running low, they never back And when the smoke had cleared and the fury felt it's Two men were dead and a bled The south had again
So mr barnet, and mr walker, too The are changing mighty fast, they'll roll right over you But you'll head for the south, to the southern tip of hell And it's hot there, white-hot down there Let's hear rebel yell!
was blood, red blood, on their hands, Yellow on their clothes What thought they were doing, Only God and the devil There was hate, hate, in their hearts, Shot their souls like a gun And as they threw their and bricks, They screamed, "see what you done!" "see what you done!"
