Luyện nghe bài hát The Death of Emmett Till

Was down in Mississippi not so ago
a young boy from Chicago town
Walked in a Southern

This boy's fateful
You all remember well
The color of his was black
And his was Emmett Till

Some men, they him to a barn
And there beat him up
They they had a reason
But disremember

They tortured him and did things
Too to repeat
There were screaming sounds inside the
There was laughing out on the street

Then they his body down a gulf
Amidst a red rain
And threw him in the waters wide
To cease his screaming

The reason they killed him there
And I'm a-sure, it no lie
'Cause he was born in barn
He was to die

And then to the United States
Of yelling for a
Two brothers, they
they had killed poor Emmett Till

But on the jury were men
Who had helped the brothers commit awful crime
And so this trial was a
But nobody seemed to mind

I saw the papers
But I not bear
To see brothers
Walkin' the courthouse stairs

For the jury them innocent
And the brothers, they free
While Emmett's body floats the
Of a Jim Crow sea

If you can't speak out this kind of thing
A crime so unjust
Your eyes are filled with dead men's
Your must be filled with dust

arms and legs
They be in shackles and chains
And mind, it must cease to flow
For you to let our race
Fall down so low

This is just a reminder
To your fellow man
That this kind of thing still today
In that ghost-robed Ku Klux

But if all of us folks that thinks
If we all we could give
We could make great land of ours
A place to live
