George Jackson - Big Band Version

[00:06.45] I woke up this mornin'
[00:08.78] There were tears in my bed
[00:12.03] They killed a man I really loved
[00:14.89] Shot him through the head
[00:17.75] Lord, Lord
[00:19.06] They cut George Jackson down
[00:21.91] Lord, Lord
[00:23.58] They laid him in the ground
[00:25.64]
[00:52.17] They sent him off to prison
[00:54.89] For a 70 dollar robbery
[00:57.71] They closed the door behind him
[01:00.50] And they threw away the key
[01:03.52] Lord, Lord
[01:04.89] They cut George Jackson down
[01:08.07] Lord, Lord
[01:09.32] They laid him in the ground
[01:11.16]
[01:38.03] He wouldn't take shit from no one
[01:40.75] He wouldn't bow down or kneel
[01:44.10] Authorities, they hated him
[01:46.51] Because he was just too real
[01:49.24] Lord, Lord
[01:50.70] They cut George Jackson down
[01:53.65] Lord, Lord
[01:55.03] They laid him in the ground
[01:57.11]
[02:24.07] The prison guards, they watched him
[02:26.31] And they cursed him from the above
[02:28.93] But they were frightened of his power
[02:31.82] They were scared of his love
[02:35.03] Lord, Lord
[02:36.32] So they cut George Jackson down
[02:39.24] Lord, Lord
[02:40.88] They laid him in the ground
[02:42.97]
[03:09.10] Sometimes I think this whole world
[03:11.88] Is one big prison yard
[03:15.18] Some of us are prisoners
[03:18.05] Some of us are guards
[03:20.74] Lord, Lord
