lirik lagu shawn phillips – for jfk, rfk & mlk
on a bright murky tuesday dawning
o’er all those mountain crowns
come a young cat a~swinging softly
laying truth down on all the towns
and the people come a~digging his gentle l!ck
while the fuzz stood around and frowned
and the church was aghast at this blasphemy
said “we’ve got to put this cat down”
but you may not know he’s been there
till a long time after he’s gone
yeah and the judge said “you know we stand for truth
but we’ve got to be organized
we’ve got money in the pocket
anybody don’t like it can be excommunikized”
and you can’t buy back a singlе soul
that’s been lost in all the wars of sides
and he didn’t bеlieve money or political power
could be seen in god’s great eyes
but you may not know he’s been there
till a long time after he’s gone
yeah his face was a mirror of lovely light
while he went around, hearing sounds
people talking this, people talking that
saying “we’re based upon these grounds”
but you could tell he was thinking of other folks
people living in far~off mounds
people who’d never seen a movie or nothing
while the fuzz stood around and frowned
but you may not know it’s been there
till a long time after it’s gone
yeah so he was here a few weeks and spread his good word
said “looking inside is right
’cause the inside is where you’ll find your freedom
your happiness and your sight”
when the power party went and found a p~wn with a rifle
said “put him into your sight”
and the man went out and he found his mark
and he turned off his lovely light
yeah so when you’re walking in the evening
or you awaken to a lovely dawn
or you’re running round, telling people what to do
or just out to cut your lawn
or you’re going to build a mighty bridge
or write out a lovely song
remember that the word goes on and on
and forever is mighty long
yeah remember that the word goes on and on
and forever is mighty long
but you may not know it’s been there
till a long time after it’s gone
