Birmingham Sunday - Rhiannon Giddens[00:00:00]
Written by:Rhiannon Giddens/Dirk Powell/Richard Fariña[00:00:01]
Come round by my side[00:00:50]
And I'll sing you a song[00:00:53]
Sing it so softly[00:00:57]
It'll do no one wrong[00:01:00]
Birmingham Sunday[00:01:05]
The blood ran like wine[00:01:07]
And the choirs kept singing of freedom[00:01:11]
That cold autumn morning[00:01:23]
No eyes saw the sun[00:01:26]
And addie mae Collins[00:01:30]
Her number was one[00:01:33]
At an old baptist church there was no need to run[00:01:37]
And the choirs kept singing of freedom[00:01:44]
Now the clouds they were grey[00:01:53]
And the autumn wind blew[00:01:56]
Denise McNair brought the number to two[00:02:00]
The falcon of death was a creature they knew[00:02:08]
And the choirs kept singing of freedom[00:02:15]
Hooo hooo hooo[00:02:24]
Ohhhhhooo[00:02:31]
Church it was crowded[00:02:35]
The no one could see[00:02:38]
That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was three[00:02:42]
Her prayers and her feelings would shame you and me[00:02:50]
And the choirs kept singing of freedom[00:02:57]
Young Carole Robertson entered the door[00:03:06]
And the number her killers had given was four[00:03:12]
She asked for a blessing[00:03:20]
But asked for no more[00:03:23]
And the choirs kept singing of freedom[00:03:27]
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh[00:03:37]
Ohhhhoo[00:03:50]
Ohhhhoo[00:03:53]
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh[00:04:00]
Ohhhhoo[00:04:13]
On Birmingham Sunday[00:04:24]
A noise shook the ground[00:04:27]
People all over the earth turned around[00:04:31]
No one recalled a more cowardly sound[00:04:38]
And the choirs kept singing of freedom[00:04:45]
Now the Sunday has come[00:04:54]
And the Sunday has gone[00:04:57]
And we can't do much more[00:05:02]
Than to sing you a song[00:05:04]
Sing it so loudly you better sing along[00:05:09]
And the choirs keep singing of freedom[00:05:16]
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh[00:05:25]
Ohhhhoo[00:05:39]
Ohhhhoo[00:05:41]
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh[00:05:49]
Ohhhhoo[00:06:02]
