Death Of Martin Luther King
|
|
(Spoken:)
|
Well the world lost a good man
|
When we lost doctor Martin Luther King
|
A man who tried to do everything
|
He tried to keep the world in peace
|
And now the poor man is gone to rest
|
But go on, doctor Martin Luther King, take your rest
|
There will always be another Luther King.
|
|
(Sung:)
|
It was early one evening, when the sun was sinking down
|
Early in the evening, some dirty sniper shot Martin Luther King down
|
He was nothing but a coward
|
He dropped his gun and run
|
But he will never have no peace
|
He'll always be on the run
|
|
The words that he say just before he died
|
That I'm, I'm going upon, I'm going way upon, way upon the mountain top
|
Well nobody know and nobody seem to care
|
Seem like the whole world, the whole world is in sin
|
Oh Lord, is in sin. Oh, what will, what will become of me?
|
I say Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on this family.
|
|
(Spoken:)
|
Yeah they shot him down
|
Just like they done all the rest
|
Shot on Abraham Lincoln,
|
Shot on president Kennedy
|
And they took poor Martin Luther King
|
So you know I don't stand a chance
|
I ain't nobody
|
|
(Sung:)
|
I know you people, I know you glad you ain't one of me
|
I know you people glad, I know you glad you white and free
|
Oh yeah, white and free, oh, what will, what will become of me?
|
Oh I am begging, yes, I'm begging to be free.
