Oxford Town |
Oxford town, Oxford town |
Everybody’s got their heads bowed down |
Sun don’t shine above the ground |
Never going 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 and couldn’t get in |
All because of the colour of his skin |
What do you think about that, my friend |
Me and my girl and my girl’s son |
We got met with a tear gas bomb |
I don’t even know why we come |
Going back to where we come from |
Oxford town in the afternoon |
Everybody’s singing a soft tune |
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon |
Somebody better investigate soon |
