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.
