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