Jacksonville |
| I’m not afraid of the black man running |
| He’s got it right, he’s got a better life coming |
| I don’t care what the captain said |
| I fold it right at the top of my head |
| I lost my sight and the state packs in |
| I follow my heart and it leads me right to Jacksonville |
| Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh |
| She gave us a medal, she gave us a map |
| Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh |
| If seeing is right, then look where you’re at |
| I’m not afraid of Nichols Park |
| I ride the train and I ride it after dark |
| I’m not afraid to get it right |
| I turn around and I give it one more try |
| And I said things that I meant to say |
| The bandstand chairs and the Dewey Day parade |
| I go out to the golden age |
| The spirit is right and the spirit doesn’t change |
| Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh |
| She gave us a mirror, she gave us a map |
| Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh |
| If seeing is right, then look where you’re at |
| Andrew Jackson, all I’m asking |
| Show us the wheel and give us the wine |
| Raise the banner, Jackson hammer |
| Everyone goes to the capitol line |
| Colored preacher, nice to meet you! |
| The spirit is here and the spirit is fine! |
| Education, ask the nation |
| You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine |
| Andrew Jackson all I’m asking |
| Give us the wheel and give us the wine |
