[00:05.49] | Emmylou Harris - My Name Is Emmett Till |
[00:13.89] | I was born a black boy |
[00:16.58] | My name is Emmett Till |
[00:19.08] | |
[00:20.40] | Walked this earth for 14 years |
[00:24.02] | One night I was killed |
[00:28.54] | For speaking to a woman |
[00:31.73] | Whose skin was white as dough |
[00:35.17] | That's a sin in Mississippi |
[00:39.61] | But how was I to know? |
[00:41.73] | |
[00:42.98] | I come down from Chicago |
[00:45.55] | |
[00:46.36] | To visit with my kin |
[00:49.86] | There I was a cheeky kid |
[00:52.80] | I guess I always been |
[00:57.17] | But the harm they put upon me |
[01:00.55] | Was too hard for what I done |
[01:03.80] | For I was just a black boy |
[01:07.99] | I never hurt no one |
[01:12.49] | Oh oh oh oh oh oh ... |
[01:21.36] | |
[01:25.68] | They took me from my uncle's house |
[01:29.43] | Mose Wright was his name |
[01:31.93] | He'd be later standing without hesitation |
[01:38.43] | |
[01:39.30] | Point the blame |
[01:40.42] | At the ones who beat and cut me |
[01:42.48] | And shot me with the gun |
[01:45.73] | |
[01:46.47] | And threw me in the river |
[01:48.85] | Like I was trash when they were done |
[01:51.16] | |
[01:53.98] | I was sent back to my mother |
[01:56.72] | At least what was left of me |
[01:59.79] | |
[02:00.47] | She kept my casket open |
[02:02.22] | |
[02:03.79] | For the whole wide world to see |
[02:06.35] | |
[02:08.60] | The awful desecration |
[02:10.40] | |
[02:12.77] | And the evidence of hate |
[02:15.83] | You could not recognize me |
[02:18.39] | The mutilation was so great |
[02:22.58] | |
[02:23.77] | Became a cry for justice then |
[02:26.39] | To be finally fulfilled |
[02:29.70] | All because of me, a black boy |
[02:33.08] | My name was Emmett Till |
[02:37.71] | |
[02:38.76] | Oh oh oh oh oh oh ... |
[02:42.77] | |
[03:04.08] | Oh, I had rather lived |
[03:06.96] | Till I was too old to die young |
[03:10.77] | Not even a soul I left behind |
[03:13.71] | All that might have come |
[03:14.66] | |
[03:18.91] | Summer clouds above my head |
[03:20.41] | The grass beneath my feet |
[03:23.72] | |
[03:25.54] | The warmth of a good woman |
[03:28.97] | Her kisses soft and sweet |
[03:34.23] | |
[03:36.85] | Perhaps to be a father |
[03:39.16] | Of a black boy of my own |
[03:43.48] | Watch him grow into a kinder world |
[03:46.85] | |
[03:50.78] | Than I had known |
[03:52.04] | Where no child would be murdered |
[03:53.41] | For the color of his skin |
[03:55.35] | |
[03:57.48] | And love would be the only thing |
[03:59.85] | |
[04:00.79] | Inside the hearts of men |
[04:02.23] | |
[04:05.85] | They say the horror of that night |
[04:08.16] | |
[04:08.66] | Is haunting heaven still |
[04:09.62] | |
[04:12.06] | Where I am one more black boy |
[04:15.18] | My name is Emmett Till |
