Down In Alabama Lyrics

(Fall/Oliva)

Nineteen sixty three is not an end, but a beginning
You have been the veterans of creative suffering

I have a dream that one day
On the red hills of Georgia
Sons of former slaves
And sons of former slave-owners
Will be able to sit down together
At the table of brotherhood

Jesus saves
Down in Alabama
Take a chance
Die in Alabama

I have a dream that one day
Down in Alabama
Little black boys and little black girls
Will be able to join hands with
Little white boys and little white girls
As sisters and brothers

Jesus saves
Down in Alabama
Take a chance
Die in Alabama
