Hey Nelly Nelly - Judy Collins

Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window

Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see

He's riding into town on a sway back mule

Got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool

He sure is talking like he's been to school

And it's 1851

Hey Nelly Nelly listen what he's saying

Hey Nelly Nelly he says it's getting late

And he says them black folks should all be free

To walk around the same as you and me

He's talking bout a thing he calls democracy

And it's 1858

Hey Nelly Nelly hear the band a playing

Hey Nelly Nelly hand me down my gun

Cause the men are cheering and the boys are too

They're all putting on their coats of blue

I can't sit around here and talk to you

Cause it's 1861

Hey Nelly Nelly Come to the window

Hey Nelly Nelly I've come back alive

My coat of blue is stained with red

And the man in the tall black hat is dead

We sure will remember all the things he said

In 1865

Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window

Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see

I see white folks and colored walking side by side

They're walking in a column that's a century wide

It's still a long and a hard and a bloody ride

In 1964
