Lament For Emmett Till |
| Mother, mother, you who bore |
| A son of sorrow, know |
| White washed justice sure will reap |
| More than it can ever sow |
| Cry, cry, lynch |
| Raise your fist |
| Murder, murder, sear the land |
| In more than angry bands |
| Uncle, uncle, he who stood |
| Facing lyncher’s eyes |
| A firm hand in Jim Crow’s dock of wood |
| Meeting parading child |
| Cry, cry, lynch |
| Raise your fist |
| Murder, murder, sear the land |
| In more than angry bands |
| Tears, blood, and pain |
| Should mix like rain |
| Sorrow comes again |
| If I am dead |
| At heaven’s gate |
| Will I be free? |
| People, people, you who swore |
| Vengeance for this brutal hour |
| May your unity soar above strife |
| To avenge this young man’s life |
| Cry, cry, lynch |
| Raise your fist |
| Murder, murder, sear the land |
| In more than angry bands |
