Oxford Town
Lyrics
Oxford town, Oxford town ♪ Everybody's got their heads bowed down Sun don't shine above the ground Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford town ♪ He went down to Oxford town Guns and clubs followed him down All because his face was brown Better get away from Oxford town ♪ Oxford town around the bend Come to the door, he couldn't get in All because of the colour of his skin What do you think about that, my friend? ♪ Me, my gal, and my gal's son We got met with a tear gas bomb Don't even know why we come We're goin' back where we came from ♪ Oxford town in the afternoon Everybody's singin' a sorrowful tune Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon Somebody better investigate soon.
