[00:55.35]Was down in Mississippi not so long ago
[01:04.38]When a young boy from Chicago town
[01:08.67]Walked in a Southern door
[01:12.91]This boy's fateful tragedy
[01:17.15]You all should remember well
[01:21.54]The color of his skin was black
[01:26.93]And his name was Emmett Till
[01:32.61]Some men they dragged him to a barn
[01:36.56]And there they beat him up
[01:40.80]They said they had a reason
[01:44.99]But I just can't remember what
[01:49.23]They tortured him and did some things
[01:53.42]Too evil to repeat
[01:57.61]There were screaming sounds inside the barn
[02:02.00]There was laughing sounds out on the street
[02:08.38]Then they rolled his body down a gulf
[02:12.72]Amidst a blood red rain
[02:16.91]And they threw him in the waters wide
[02:21.15]To cease his screaming pain
[02:25.49]The reason that they killed him there
[02:29.73]And I'm a-sure it was no lie
[02:33.92]Was just for they found them killing him
[02:38.76]And to watch him slowly die
[02:44.85]And then to stop the United States
[02:48.79]Of yelling for a trial
[02:52.93]Two brothers they confessed
[02:56.92]That they had killed poor Emmett Till
[03:01.26]But on the jury there were men
[03:04.06]Who had helped the brothers commit this awful crime
[03:10.04]And so this trial was a mockery
[03:13.93]But nobody there seemed to mind
[03:20.57]I saw the morning papers
[03:26.01]But I could not bear
[03:28.80]To see the smiling brothers
[03:32.94]Walkin' down the courthouse stairs
[03:37.13]For the jury found them innocent
[03:41.32]And the brothers they went free
[03:45.66]While Emmett's body floats the foam
[03:49.80]Of a Jim Crow southern sea
[03:56.19]If you can't speak out against this kind of thing
[04:00.33]A crime that's so unjust
[04:04.47]Your eyes are filled with dead men's dirt
[04:09.51]Your ears must be filled with dust
[04:13.55]Your arms and legs
[04:16.29]They must be in shackles and chains
[04:17.49]And your blood it must cease to flow
[04:21.23]For you to let this human race
[04:25.17]Fall down so God-awful low
[04:31.46]This song is just a reminder
[04:35.35]To remind your fellow man
[04:39.64]That this kind of thing still lives today
[04:43.73]In that ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan
[04:47.92]But if all of us folks that thinks alike
[04:52.01]If we give all we could give
[04:56.30]We could make this great land of ours
[05:00.49]A greater place to live
