This song is about Eldridge Clever, the 60’s political activist who also lead the Black Panthers, and who eventually went into exile in Algiers. Hence the lyrics “His soul is on paper – published in tears.” “And white men they keep him – away in Algiers.”
The Laird Lyrics
The Laird is arriving
He ran to the east
He stood in the courthouse
Pleading his case
His crime was a passion
An aching for peace
And he's not alone
And he's not alone
And he's not alone
And he's not alone
Let my people go
His soul is on paper
Freshly changed
And white men they keep him
Oh and not changing
And he's not alone, yeah
And he's not alone
And he's not alone
And he's not alone, yeah
Let my people go
