[Verse 1]
I ain't goin' down Birmingham by myself
I ain't goin' down Birmingham by myself
If I go, or take someone with me
Give me an airplane, fly over Birminghame
Give me an airplane and fly over Birmingham
Drop me a bomb and keep on flyin' on
[Verse 2]
I feel so bad, I read about Birmingham, I feel so bad
I read, read about Birmingham
Oh do I know about things, a man is just a man
God made this land
He give the land to no one, to no one, land
And God made everybody equal
Equal, equal
I don't know why
Birmingham treat people, the people the way they do
But I ain't goin' down Birmingham by myself
I swear I ain't
[Verse 3]
One thing I do know
Our President, he out doin' everything he can
For every man, equal right
It takes time, I do know
But one day, Birmingham, Mississippi, and Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky
All them states, Arkansas, will fall in line
