I never will go back to Alabama, that is not the place for me (2x) |
|
You know they killed my sister and my brother, |
|
and the whole world let them peoples go down there free |
|
I never will love Alabama, Alabama seem to never have loved poor me (2x) |
|
Oh God I wish you would rise up one day, |
|
lead my peoples to the land of pea' |
|
My brother was taken up for my mother, and a police officer shot him down (2x) |
|
I can't help but to sit down and cry sometime, |
|
think about how my poor brother lost his life |
|
Alabama, Alabama, why you want to be so mean (2x) |
|
You got my people behind a barbwire fence, |
|
now you tryin' to take my freedom away from me |
