Phil Ochs - Monroe Town Lyrics

The klan rode through old monroe town They rode there many a year One black day they rode too far The cry of freedom was near Monroe town is a dying town It’s a human scar with their feathers and their tar With guns in their in their hands they rose to a man Beat monroe clan they (? ) made a stand There is a courthouse in monroe town The truth is never let in It doesn’t really matter what you have done You are judged by the colour of your skin Freedom had a brother in monroe town Rob williams was his name Liberty was his battle cry And justice was his aim Every state has a monroe town Just look and you will see Let’s get together and clean them out Let’s really make our country free Phil Ochs Lyrics Monroe Town Lyrics
