Big tall courthouse, a clock upon the wall |
|
A hammer on the table and a copper on the door |
|
A judge in front and a jury at the side |
|
A judge in front and a jury at the side |
|
A judge in front and a jury at the side |
|
And a Bible on the stand to say |
|
I won't tell lies |
|
Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock |
|
Between the rock and roll devil and the fear of god |
|
Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin |
|
In the deep south of |
|
America Can the lady take the stand now? |
|
Blah, blah, blah |
|
And how comes a black woman drives her own car? |
|
And what gives you the constitutional right |
|
And what gives you the constitutional right |
|
And what gives you the constitutional right |
|
To drive a car through a junction on a red stop light? |
|
Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock |
|
Between the rock and roll devil and the fear of god |
|
Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin |
|
In the deep south of |
|
Yorkshire |
|
Well of course |
|
I drove the car through a red stop light |
|
But well, |
|
I thought that law was just for whites |
|
I saw the white folks drive through on green |
|
I say, I saw the white folks drive through on green |
|
I say, I saw the white folks drive through on green |
|
So when the red light flashed, |
|
I thought this must be for me |
|
Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock |
|
Just a fear of the people with a fear of god |
|
Lancashire white girl tries to sing the blues |
|
Well, I woke up this morning like |
|
I usually do |
