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