| (Verse) | |
| Nicholas invited me to visit at the farm | |
| We were playing in the yard, | |
| I saw them in the barn | |
| White and black together sat | |
| I just stood and stared | |
| How was I to know what it all meant? | |
| (Verse) | |
| Mr. Goldreich and his wife were generous to me | |
| David in blue overalls came in to serve the tea | |
| I had seen him in the barn, something wasn’t right | |
| As I told my father late that night | |
| (Chorus) | |
| So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away | |
| One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away | |
| On that Thursday according to plan | |
| They took them away in a dry-cleaning van | |
| I stood and watched by the side of the road | |
| How could I know? | |
| How could I know? | |
| (Bridge) | |
| How was I to understand? | |
| How to make it right? | |
| As I ask our father every night | |
| (Chorus) | |
| So they came in a dry-cleaning van and they took them away, took them away | |
| One dog and a dozen strong men and they took them away, took them away | |
| On that Thursday according to plan | |
| They took them away in a dry-cleaning van | |
| I stood and watched by the side of the road | |
| How could I know? | |
