歌曲 | Took Them Away |

(Verse) | |
Nicholas invited me to visit at the farm | |
We were playing in the yard, | |
I saw them in the barn | |
White and black together sat | |
I just stood and stared | |
How was I to know what it all meant? | |
(Verse) | |
Mr. Goldreich and his wife were generous to me | |
David in blue overalls came in to serve the tea | |
I had seen him in the barn, something wasn’t right | |
As I told my father late that night | |
(Chorus) | |
So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away | |
One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away | |
On that Thursday according to plan | |
They took them away in a dry-cleaning van | |
I stood and watched by the side of the road | |
How could I know? | |
How could I know? | |
(Bridge) | |
How was I to understand? | |
How to make it right? | |
As I ask our father every night | |
(Chorus) | |
So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away | |
One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away | |
On that Thursday according to plan | |
They took them away in a dry-cleaning van | |
I stood and watched by the side of the road | |
How could I know? | |
How could I know? |
