Phil Ochs - Freedom Riders Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Jackson, mississippi, is a mighty white town,

The white folks they like to keep the black folks down

They think theyll be allright, but theres gonna be a fight

And theyll have to share that freedom crown,

Yes, theyll have to share that freedom crown.

Freedom riders roll along

Freedom riders wont be long

Wont be long.

They boarded a bus in washington d.c.

To enter a state half slave and half free

The wheels hummed a song and they sang along

The song of liberty, the song of liberty.

*chorus*

Jimmy farmer was a hard fightin man

Decided one day that he had to make a stand

He led them down to slavery town

And they threw jim farmer in the can

And they threw jim farmer in the can.

*chorus*

One of these days and it wont be long

The solid south is gonna sing another song

Theyll understand that a mans not a man

til he has all the freedoms of the land.

*chorus*
