Words by Woody Guthrie
Music by Billy Bragg and Wilco
From Mermaid Avenue Volume 3
A
Paul Robeson, he's the man
D
That faced the Ku Klux Klan
A
On hollow grove's golfing ground
E
His words come sounding
A
And all around him there
D
To jump and clap and cheer
A E
I sent the best, the best I had
A
My thirty thousand
A
The Klansman leader said
D
That Paul would lose his head
A
When thirty five thousand vets
E
Broke up that concert
A
But less than four thousand came
D
To side with the Klan
A E
But around Paul's lonesome oak
A
My thirty thousand
A
B beersoaked brassy band
D
Did snortle round the grounds
A
Four hundred noblest souls
E
Westchester's manhood
A
And they looked exactly like
D
The fleas on a tiger's back
A E
Lost fish in the waters of
A
My thirty thousand
A
When Paul had sung and gone
D
And the kids and babies home
A
Cops came with guns and clubs
E
And they clubbed and beat 'em
A
Well, I'd hate to be a cop
D
Caught with a bloody stick
A E
'Cause you can't bash the brains
A
Out of thirty thousand
A
Each eye you tried to gouge
D
Each skull you tried to crack
A
Has a thousand, thousand friends
E
Around this green grass
A
If you furnish the skull someday
D
I'll pass out the clubs and guns
A E
To the billion hands that love
A
My thirty thousand
A
Each wrinkle on your face
D
I know it at a glance
A
You cannot run and hide
A
Nor duck nor dodge them
A
And your carcass and your deeds
D
Will fertilize the seeds
A E
Of the men that stood to guard
A
My thirty thousand
A E
Of the men that stood to guard
A
My thirty thousand
