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