  • 作曲 : Unknown
    Come round by my side and I'll sing you a song
    I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong
    On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine
    And the choirs kept singing of freedom
    That cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun
    And Addie Mae Collins, her number was one
    At an old Baptist church there was no need to run
    And the choirs kept singing of freedom
    The clouds they were grey and the autumn wind blew
    And Denise McNair brought the number to two
    The falcon of death was a creature they knew
    And the choirs kept singing of freedom
    The church it was crowded, but no one could see
    That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was three
    Her prayers and her feelings would shame you and me
    And the choirs kept singing of freedom
    Young Carol Robertson entered the door
    And the number her killers had given was four
    She asked for a blessing but asked for no more
    And the choirs kept singing of freedom
    On Birmingham Sunday a noise shook the ground
    And people all over the earth turned around
    For no one recalled a more cowardly sound
    And the choirs kept singing of freedom
    The men in the forest they once asked of me
    How many black berries grew in the Blue Sea
    I asked them right back with a tear in my eye
    How many dark ships in the forest?
    The Sunday has come and the Sunday has gone
    And I can't do much more than to sing you a song
    I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong
    And the choirs keep singing of freedom
