Hey Nelly Nelly - Judy Collins

Hey Nelly Nelly (LP版) - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)
Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window
Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see
He's riding into town on a sway back mule
Got a tall black hat
And he looks like a fool
He sure is talkin' like he's been to school
And it's 1853
Hey Nelly Nelly listen what he's sayin'
Hey Nelly Nelly he says it's gettin' late
And he says them
Black folks should all be free
To walk around the same as you and me
He's talkin' 'bout a thing
He calls democracy
And it's 1858
Hey Nelly Nelly hear the band a playing
Hey Nelly Nelly hand me down my gun
"Cause the men are cheerin'
And the boys are too
They're all puttin' on their coats of blue
I can't sit around here and talk to you
"Cause it's 1861
Hey Nelly Nelly Come to the window
Hey Nelly Nelly I've come back alive
My coat of blue is stained with red
And the man in the tall black hat is dead
We sure will remember
All the things he said
In 1865
Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window
Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see
I see white folks
And colored walkin' side by side
They're walkin' in a column
That's a century wide
It's still a long and a hard
And a bloody ride
In 1963
