| My name is Terry Roberts |
| From Arkinsas I come |
| I went down to the school |
| The place they keep me from |
| I went down to the school house |
| And this is what I saw… |
| State troopers with steel helmets |
| In the State of Arkansas |
| I went up to the troopers |
| And said «please let me in» |
| But all their guns were pointed |
| At the color of my skin |
| They kept me from that school house |
| Where I should be by law |
| That’s what they call justice in the State of Arkansas |
| His name is Orville Faubus |
| The Governor of the State |
| His sent his troops all charging down |
| Nine kids were at the gate |
| Three hundred National Guard were there |
| Dressed up to fight a war |
| And that is why I’m late for school |
| In the State of Arkansas |
| Now listen Mr. Governor |
| And Mr. President, too |
| Give me that Constitution |
| That’s what you’ve got to do |
| Give me that Constitution |
| I ask for nothing more |
| That’s what I want to study |
| In the State of Arkansas |
