Artist: Bob Dylan Album: N/A (0000) Title: George Jackson
Lyrics George JacksonI woke up this mornin' There were tears in my bed They killed a man I really loved Shot him through the head
Lord, Lord They cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground
They sent him off to prison For a seventy-dollar robbery They closed the door behind him And they threw away the key
Lord, Lord They cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground
He wouldn't take shit from no one He wouldn't bow down or kneel Authorities, they hated him Because he was just too real
Lord, Lord They cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground
The prison guards, they watched him As they cursed him from above But they were frightened of his power They were scared of his love
Lord, Lord So they cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground
Sometimes I think this whole world Is one big prison yard Some of us are prisoners Some of us are guards
Lord, Lord They cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground
Lord, Lord They cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground
Lord, Lord They cut George Jackson down Lord, Lord They laid him in the ground ... |
