Alabama '58 - Luke Kelly[00:00:00]

In Alabama 1958[00:00:03]

The cost of human life is very low[00:00:07]

A man that's black is trampled down[00:00:11]

Just like they were a thousand years ago[00:00:13]

But these are more enlightened days[00:00:15]

No room for all these savage ways[00:00:17]

Leave and let them go[00:00:19]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:00:23]

For all are free[00:00:25]

Two thousand years ago a million men[00:00:30]

Were gathered into royal Egypt's land[00:00:34]

Were bound together forced to build[00:00:38]

Pyramids of stone in desert sand[00:00:40]

But these are more enlightened days[00:00:42]

No room for all these savage ways[00:00:44]

Leave and let them go[00:00:46]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:00:50]

For all are free[00:00:52]

Mary's son walked through a land of woe[00:00:57]

Dreaming of the world as it could be[00:01:01]

But the good and lawful men of Rome[00:01:04]

Bound him like a robber to a tree[00:01:06]

But these are more enlightened days[00:01:09]

No room for all these savage ways[00:01:11]

Leave and let them go[00:01:13]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:01:16]

For all are free[00:01:19]

In Britain just a hundred years ago[00:01:24]

The jails were full of good and hungry men[00:01:27]

Diggers fenians many more[00:01:31]

Fought and died but rose to fight again[00:01:33]

But these are more enlightened days[00:01:36]

No room for all these savage ways[00:01:38]

Leave and let them go[00:01:39]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:01:43]

For all are free[00:01:46]

Last year a negro stole a dollar bill[00:01:50]

The judge he said[00:01:54]

We mustn't be severe[00:01:55]

Instead of death we'll give him life imprisonment[00:01:58]

To show there's justice here[00:02:01]

For these are more enlightened days[00:02:02]

No room for all these savage ways[00:02:04]

Leave and let them go[00:02:06]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:02:10]

For all are free[00:02:12]

And so throughout the ages you have seen[00:02:17]

How progress marches ever on its way[00:02:21]

No rack no wheel no Spanish boot[00:02:24]

For Alabama's prisoners today[00:02:26]

For these are more enlightened days[00:02:29]

No room for all these savage ways[00:02:31]

Leave and let them go[00:02:33]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:02:37]

For all are free[00:02:39]

In these more enlightened days[00:02:42]

No room for all these savage ways[00:02:44]

Leave and let them go[00:02:46]

Now every man may walk his road in peace[00:02:50]

For all are free[00:02:52]
