Railroad coming down around south territory Old man, got no stake livin' Said he spent his life to build this land White man got no love for givin' But a black man can't feel to sorry for himself Or he's living still Way down, way down south in the cotton fileds I know I can find a nation, shedding tears, Leting go of all those years, time's come to watch for revelation Summertime took a mississipi cruise to the ore plantation I saw, I saw Jackie falling, in love with a man of a different gent			Shotgun to him from his calling But a white girl can't feel all that sorry for herself Or she's living still (chorus) I just want to take you down Scarecrows watched louisiana crosses burning Negro's let people do their learning We're holding hands spreading love all across this land Making friends, brings salvation's turning (Chorus) Time's come for integration, time's come for revelation Time's come for exultation For as long as a single slave is still walking on this earth We're living still
