In the state of Mississippi many years ago
MIm SOL RE
A boy of 14 years got a taste of southern law
LAm MIm
He saw his friend a hanging and his color was his crime
MIm SOL RE
And the blood upon his jacket left a brand upon his mind
LAm MIm
CHORUS: Too many martyrs and too many dead
LAm RE SOL
Too many lies too many empty words were said
Am D G (Em optional)
Too many times for too many angry men
LAm RE SOL
Oh let it never be again
LAm RE MIm
