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