Freedom Riders
Lyricist:Phil Ochs
Jackson, Mississippi is a mighty white town The white folks, they like to keep the black folks down They think they'll be alright but there's gonna be a fight And they'll have to share that freedom crown Yes, they'll have to share that freedom crown
Freedom riders roll along Freedom riders won't be long Won't 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
Freedom riders roll along Freedom riders won't be long Won't be long
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
Freedom riders roll along Freedom riders won't be long Won't be long
One of these days and it won't be long The solid south is gonna sing another song They'll understand that a man's not a man 'Til he has all the freedoms of the land
Freedom riders roll along Freedom riders won't be long Won't be long
