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