Freedom riders
Phil ochs
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*
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*
