Oxford Town

Oxford town around the bend

All because his face was brown
Me and my gal, my gals son
Goin' back where we come from
All because of the color of his skin
We got met with a tear gas bomb
He come in to the door, he couldn't get in
Everybody singin' a sorrowful tune
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford town

Oxford town in the afternoon
He went down to Oxford town
The sun don't shine above the ground
What do you think about that, my friend?
Better get away from Oxford town
I don't even know why we come
Two men died beneath the Mississippi moon
Guns and clubs followed him down
