Oxford Town

Oxford town, Oxford town

Everybody's got their heads bowed down

Sun don't shine above the ground

Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford town

♪

He went down to Oxford town

Guns and clubs followed him down

All because his face was brown

Better get away from Oxford town

♪

Oxford town around the bend

Come to the door, he couldn't get in

All because of the colour of his skin

What do you think about that, my friend?

♪

Me, my gal, and my gal's son

We got met with a tear gas bomb

Don't even know why we come

We're goin' back where we came from

♪

Oxford town in the afternoon

Everybody's singin' a sorrowful tune

Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon

Somebody better investigate soon.
