[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:10.74]The Death of Emmett Till
[00:26.29]'Twas down in Mississippi
[00:31.43]Not so long ago
[00:35.68]When a young boy from Chicago Town
[00:40.46]Walk in a southern door
[00:45.72]This boy's fateful tragedy
[00:49.92]We should all remember well
[00:54.08]The color of his skin was black
[00:58.48]And his name was Emmett Till
[01:03.31]Some men they dragged him to a barn
[01:08.56]And there they beat him up
[01:12.27]They said they had a reason
[01:16.71]But I disremember what
[01:21.77]They tortured him and did some things
[01:26.51]Too evil to repeat
[01:30.77]There was screamin' sounds inside the barn
[01:35.37]There was laughin' sound out on the street
[01:42.13]They dragged his body to a gulch
[01:46.71]Amidst a bloodred rain
[01:51.32]And they through him in the waters wide
[01:56.07]To sease his screaming pain
[02:00.45]The reason that they killed him there
[02:05.01]And I'm sure it ain't no lie
[02:09.81]He was a blackskin boy
[02:14.03]So he was born to die
[02:20.85]And so to stop these United States
[02:25.39]Of yelling for a trial
[02:29.91]Two brothers they confessed that they
[02:34.48]Killed poor Emmett Till
[02:38.69]But on the jury there were men
[02:42.96]Who helped the brother commit this awful crime
[02:48.01]And so this trial was a mockery
[02:52.49]But nobody seemed to mind
[02:59.30]I saw the morning paper
[03:04.65]But I could not bear
[03:08.28]To see the brothers smiling
[03:12.76]On that courthouse stairs
[03:17.22]For the jury found them innocent
[03:21.74]And the brothers they went free
[03:26.28]Whilt Emmett's body floats the foam
[03:30.78]Of a Jim Crow southern sea
[03:37.52]If you can't speak out against this kind of thing
[03:41.97]A crime that's so unjust
[03:45.93]Your eyes are filled with deadman's dirt
[03:51.04]Your mind is filled with dust
[03:55.39]Your arms and legs
[03:57.38]They must be in shackles and chains
[03:59.83]And your blood it must cease to flow
[04:04.30]For you'd let this human race
[04:08.72]Sick so God awful low
[04:15.43]This song is just a reminder
[04:19.92]To tell my fellow man
[04:24.40]That this kind of thing still lives today
[04:33.46]In that ghost robed Klu Klux Klan
[04:37.33]But if we all then think alike
[04:42.37]If we give all we can give
[05:07.75]We'd make this Great land of ours
[05:16.72]An even greater place to live
