TVA Song |
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 |
