歌词

[00:20.48] Was down in Mississippi not so long ago
[00:29.98] When a young boy from Chicago town
[00:34.56] Walked in a Southern door
[00:39.91] This boy's fateful tragedy
[00:43.51] You all should remember well
[00:48.40] The color of his skin was black
[00:53.04] And his name was Emmett Till
[01:00.13] Some men, they dragged him to a barn
[01:06.01] And there they beat him up
[01:09.30] They said they had a reason
[01:13.94] But I just can't remember what
[01:18.38] They tortured him and did some things
[01:23.66] Too evil to repeat
[01:27.65] There were screaming sounds inside the barn
[01:32.32] There was laughing sounds out on the street
[01:38.16] Then they rolled his body down a gulf
[01:42.69] Amidst a blood red rain
[01:47.13] And they threw him in the waters wide
[01:51.90] To cease his screaming pain
[01:56.34] The reason that they killed him there
[02:00.93] And I'm a-sure, it was no lie
[02:05.37] Was just for they found them killing him
[02:10.22] And to watch him slowly die
[02:15.35] And then to stop the United States
[02:19.15] Of yelling for a trial
[02:23.53] Two brothers, they confessed
[02:26.69] That they had killed poor Emmett Till
[02:32.32] But on the jury there were men
[02:36.90] Who had helped the brothers commit this awful crime
[02:41.49] And so this trial was a mockery
[02:46.13] But nobody there seemed to mind
[02:51.67] I saw the morning papers
[02:57.50] But I could not bear
[03:01.00] To see the smiling brothers
[03:05.38] Walkin' down the courthouse stairs
[03:09.97] For the jury found them innocent
[03:14.49] And the brothers, they went free
[03:18.93] While Emmett's body floats the foam
[03:23.51] Of a Jim Crow southern sea
[03:30.19] If you can't speak out against this kind of thing
[03:34.98] A crime that's so unjust
[03:39.73] Your eyes are filled with dead men's dirt
[03:44.11] Your ears must be filled with dust
[03:48.90] Your arms and legs
[03:50.50] They must be in shackles and chains
[03:53.13] And your blood, it must cease to flow
[03:57.64] For you to let this human race
[04:02.59] Fall down so God-awful low
[04:07.33] This song is just a reminder
[04:11.82] To remind your fellow man
[04:16.26] That this kind of thing still lives today
[04:20.90] In that ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan
[04:25.24] But if all of us folks that thinks alike
[04:29.72] If we give all we could give
[04:34.51] We could make this great land of ours
[04:38.95] A greater place to live
