June the 6th 1966
They shot James Meredith down just like a dog
June the 6th 1966
They shot James Meredith down just like a dog
Mr. President I wonder what are you gonna do know?
I don't believe you gon' do nothing at all
[Verse 2]
He was marching through Mississippi
Leadin' my peoples what he thought was right
He was marching through Mississippi
Leadin' my peoples what he thought was right
The last I heard of my boy James Meredith
Some evil man tried to take his life
[Verse 3]
I was looking at Dick Gregory this morning
He said I had to take a plane
I was looking at Dick Gregory this morning
He said I had to take a plane
The newspaper man asked him what do you think you gonna prove
He said I'm gonna lead the peoples just like James' Meredith do
