These People In Mississippi State, They Are

The Mississippi Is Not The Only River. There's The Tallahatchie And The Big Black. People Have Been Put In The River Year After Year, These Things Been Happening.

I Got Pictures Of Us And They Would Draw Big Red Rings Around Us And Tell What They Thought Of Us. I Got A Letter Said, "i Have Been Shot Three Times Throught The Heart. I Hope I See Your Second Act." But This White Man Who Wants To Stay White, And To Think For The Negro, He Is Not Only Destroying The Negro, He Is Destroying Himself, Because A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand And That Same Thing Applies To America.

We Didn't Come All The Way Up Here To Compromise For No More Than We’d Gotten Here. We Didn't Come All This Way For No Two Seats, 'cause All Of Us Is Tired.

People Have Got To Get Together And Work Together. I'm Tired Of The Kind Of Oppression That White People Have Inflicted On Us And Are Still Trying To Inflict.

Never To Forget Where We Came From And Always Praise The Bridges That Carried Us Over.
