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