I think of Andy in the cold wet clay
|
Those three are on my mind
|
With his comrades down beside him
|
On that brutal day
|
Those three are on my mind
|
|
There lies young James in his final pain
|
Those three are on my mind
|
So I ask the killers, "Can you see those three again?
|
Those three are on my mind"
|
|
I see dark eyed Michael
|
With his dark eyed bride
|
Those three are on my mind
|
And three proud mothers
|
Weeping side by side
|
Those three are on my mind
|
|
But I'm grieving yet
|
And for some the sky is bright
|
I cannot give up hoping
|
For a morning light
|
So I ask the killers, "Do you sleep at night?
|
Oh, those three are on my mind"
|
|
I see tin roof shanties
|
Where my brothers live
|
Those three are on my mind
|
And the little burnt out churches
|
Where they sing we forgive
|
Those three are on my mind
|
|
I know of Tom paints water tree
|
I know the price of liberty
|
Now I ask the question that is deep inside of me
|
Did they also burn the Courthouse
|
When they killed those three
|
Those three are on my mind
|
|
Those three are on my mind
|
Those three are on my mind
|
