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