Luyện nghe bài hát The Death of Emmett Till

Was in Mississippi not so long ago
When a young boy from Chicago
Walked in a Southern

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

men, they dragged him to a barn
And there beat him up
said they had a reason
But what

They tortured him and did things
Too evil to
There screaming sounds inside the barn
There was laughing sounds out on the

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

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

And then to stop the United
Of yelling for a
Two brothers, confessed
That had killed poor Emmett Till

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

I saw the papers
But I not bear
To see smiling
Walkin' down the courthouse

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

If you speak out against this kind of thing
A crime so unjust
Your are filled with dead men's clay
Your ears must be filled with

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

This song is just a
To remind fellow man
That this kind of thing still lives
In ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan

But if all of us folks thinks alike
If we all we could give
We make this great land of ours
A greater place to
