Jacksonville Lyrics

[ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA]
I'm not afraid of the black man running
He's got it right, he's got a better life coming
I don't care what the captain said
I fold it right at the top of my head
I lost my sight and the state packs in
I follow my heart and it leads me right to Jackson

[ARCTIINI & BARSINE]
Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh, oh

[NACNA]
She gave us a medal, she gave us a map

[ARCTIINI & BARSINE]
Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh

[NACNA]
If seeing is right, then look where you're at

[ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA]
I'm not afraid of Nichols Park
I ride the train and I ride it after dark
I'm not afraid to get it right
I turn around and I give it one more try
And I said things that I meant to say
The bandstand chairs and the Dewey Day parade
I go out to the golden age
The spirit is right and the spirit doesn't change

[ARCTIINI & BARSINE]
Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh, oh

[NACNA]
She gave us a mirror, she gave us a map

[ARCTIINI & BARSINE]
Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh

[NACNA]
If seeing is right, then look where you're at

[ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA]
Andrew Jackson, all I'm asking
Show us the wheel and give us the wine
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Raise the banner, Jackson hammer
Everyone goes to the capitol line
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Colored preacher, nice to meetcha
The spirit is here and the spirit is fine
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Education, ask the nation
You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Andrew Jackson, all I'm asking
Give us the wheel

[NACNA]
And give us the wine
Ooh-ooh
