"Twas_down_in_Mississippi_no_so_long_ago, 

_______Am________________C/G______________D/F#__________E 

When_a_young_boy_from_Chicago_town_walked_in_a_Southern_door. 

_____Am_____________C/G_________________D/F#_________F 

This_boys_frightful_tragedy_you_should_all_remember_well, 

____Am___________C/G____________________E_______________Am 

The_color_of_his_skin_was_black_and_his_name_was_Emmett_Till. 

 
 

Some_men_they_dragged_him_to_a_barn_and_there_they_beat_him_up. 

They_said_they_had_a_reason,_but_I_disremember_what. 

They_tortured_him_and_did_some_things_too_evil_to_repeat. 

There_was_screaming_sounds_inside_the_barn,_there_was_laughing_sounds_out_on_the_street. 

 
 

Then_they_rolled_his_body_down_a_gulf_amidst_the_blood-red_rain 

And_they_threw_him_in_the_waters_wide_to_cease_his_screaming_pain. 

The_reason_that_they_killed_him_there,_and_Im_sure_it_aint_no_lie, 

He_was_a_black-skinned_boy,_so_he_was_born_to_die. 

 
 

And_then_to_stop_the_United_States_of_yelling_for_a_trial, 

Two_brothers_they_confessed_that_they_had_killed_poor_Emmett_Till. 

But_on_the_jury_there_were_men_who_helped_the_brothers_commit_this_awful_crime, 

And_so_this_trial_was_a_mockery,_but_nobody_seemed_to_mind. 

 
 

I_saw_the_morning_papers_but_I_could_not_bear_ 

To_see_the_smiling_brothers_walkin_down_the_courthouse_stairs. 

For_the_jury_found_them_innocent_and_the_brothers_they_went_free, 

While_Emmetts_body_floats_the_foam_of_a_Jim_Crow_southern_sea. 

 
 

If_you_cant_speak_out_against_this_kind_of_thing,_a_crime_thats_so_unjust, 

Your_eyes_are_filled_with_dead_mens_dirt,_your_mind_is_filled_with_dust. 

Your_arms_and_legs_they_must_be_in_shackles_and_chains,_and_your_blood_it_must_cease_to_flow, 

For_you_let_this_human_race_fall_down_so_God-awful_low! 

 
 

This_song_is_just_a_reminder_to_remind_your_fellow_man 

That_this_kind_of_thing_still_lives_today_in_that_ghost-robed_Ku_Klux_Klan. 

But_if_all__us_folks_that_thinks_alike,_if_wed_give_all_we_could_give, 

We_could_make_this_great_land_of_ours_a_greater_place_to_live.
