God's Gonna Make Things Over (Greenwood)
Though my people may be slaves buried down in nameless graves God's gonna make things over one of these days
Tulsa Oklahoma,1921, That's when the killing had just begun. God's gonna make things over one of these days
It ain’t right!... It ain’t right!...
What the white folks did in Tulsa on that night.
W. Tate Brady was an evil man. He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Negroes begging down on their knees. White folks hanged them up in trees. There was money in Greenwood town. White folks burned it to the ground. Black Doctor raised his hands up high. And they just shot him to watch him die. (refrain) (chorus)
Tell me what did you learn. When you watched my body burn? (refrain) When you hang me from a tree. Raise me high so my people see. (refrain) (chorus)(chorus)
