lirik lagu douglas lyons – a rumblin’ and a rollin
[riley]
you hear a rumblin’ and rollin’?
it’s coming down from the north
it’s coming up through the ground
and it’s a funny old sound
’cause it’s a rumblin’ and rollin’
[angela]
and i bet i know why!
see ’em on the train
see ’em on the bus
they never cared much about folks like us!
[riley]
but now they’re gonna pay attention
sure, they’re gonna ask “why, why, why?”
[angela]
and they gonna say “i don’t know what, i don’t know how”
well, they are gonna find out now!
[both]
they gonna pay attention
they gonna yell, “set that man free!”
[riley]
well, they sure ain’t talking ’bout me!
[both]
there’s a rumblin’ and a rollin’
here come the yankee brigade
they gonna come through this town
wе better keep our heads down
wе better start mumblin’ and a shufflin’
we better polish our smiles
[riley]
ol’ black joe, at your service
won’t do nothing that’ll make you nervous
won’t do nothing worth a look or a mention
and they won’t never pay attention!
[both]
they’ll never say “my, my, my!”
they gonna say “bring me my boots!” (“bring me my tea!”)
[riley]
i betcha thought the slaves were free
[angela]
mr. frank, good for you
lot of folks coming to get you through
mr. frank, ain’t that grand?
lot of folks coming to take a stand
mr. frank, knock on wood
ain’t gonna do you no godd~mn good!
[riley]
i can tell you this, as a matter of fact
that the local hotels wouldn’t be so backed
if a little black girl had gotten attacked!
[angela]
go on, go on, go on, go on!
[both]
they comin’ and they comin’ now, yes siree
’cause a white man gonna get hung, you see
there’s a black man swinging in every tree, but
they don’t never pay attention!
they never say “why, why, why?”
but if a yankee boy flies
surprise, surprise, surprise
they gonna pay attention!
they gonna yell, “set that man free!”
oh, there’ll be a rumblin’ and a rollin’
yeah, here
there’ll be a rumblin’ and a rollin’
yeah (gonna be a rumblin’ and a rollin’)
gonna be a rumblin’ and a rollin’ (yeah)
there’s gonna be a~rumblin’ and a~rollin’ (there’s gonna be a~rumblin’ and a~rollin’)
