I'll sing you a song about a southern where the devil had his rule marshalls faced an angry mob to send one man to school His name was jimmy The tide he helped to For he chose to on that terrible day The was soon to learn
was blood, red blood, on their hands, Yellow dirt on their What they they were doing, God and the devil knows There was hate, cold hate, in hearts, from their souls like a gun And as they threw their and bricks, They screamed, "see what you done!"
The governor made a promise he would keep the down But when the mob got ugly no troopers could be And men were with hate and fear, They screamed the night The rebel flag in the air The symbol of rights
was blood, red blood, on their hands, Yellow dirt on clothes What they thought were doing, God and the devil knows There was hate, hate, in their hearts, Shot from souls like a gun And as they their stones and bricks, They screamed, "see you have done!"
Gas was fired into the mob each attack And though the gas was low, they never fired back And when the smoke had cleared and the fury felt it's Two men were dead and a hundred The south had risen
So mr barnet, and mr walker, too The times are mighty fast, they'll roll right over you But someday you'll head for the south, to the tip of hell And it's hot down there, white-hot there Let's hear your yell!
There was blood, red blood, on hands, Yellow on their clothes they thought they were doing, Only God and the devil There was hate, hate, in their hearts, Shot from souls like a gun And as they their stones and bricks, screamed, "see what you have done!" "see what you done!"
