| George Jackson |
| by Bob Dylan |
| I woke up this mornin', |
| There were tears in my bed. |
| They killed a man I really loved |
| Shot him through the head. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They cut George Jackson down. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They laid him in the ground. |
| Sent him off to prison |
| For a seventy-dollar robbery. |
| Closed the door behind him |
| And they threw away the key. |
| Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They laid him in the ground. |
| He wouldn’t take shit from no one |
| He wouldn’t bow down or kneel. |
| Authorities, they hated him |
| Because he was just too real. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They cut George Jackson down. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They laid him in the ground. |
| Prison guards, they cursed him |
| As they watched him from above |
| But they were frightened of his power |
| They were scared of his love. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| So they cut George Jackson down. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They laid him in the ground. |
| Sometimes I think this whole world |
| Is one big prison yard. |
| Some of us are prisoners |
| The rest of us are guards. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They cut George Jackson down. |
| Lord, Lord, |
| They laid him in the ground. |
