Talking Birmingham Jam (LP版) - Phil Ochs
Walkin down to birmingham
Way down South in dixieland
I thought that I would stop a while
Take a vacation southern style
Got some southern hospitality
Down there in a southern hospital
Well all the signs said welcome in
Sun by governor well us rin tin tin
He said come along and watch the fights
While we feed our dogs on civil rights
Now don't get a wrong
Some of my best Negros are friends
Well I've seen travel in many ways
I've traveled in cars and old subways
But in birmingham some people chose
To fly down the street from a fire hose
Doin some hard travelin
From hydrants of plenty
Well a pack of dogs was standin by
I walked up to them and I said hi
Well I asked one dog what they all were doin
He walked up to me and started chewin
I said hold it
I'm from the ASPCA
Sociaty prevention of grouth he atituates
And I said there must be some men around
There can't be only you dogs in town
They said sure we have old bull conner
There he goes walkin yonder
Throwin some raw meat
To the mayor
Feedin bones to the city council
You know goven a walles dosen't meen on horm
I can't to see his Got a lot of charme
His protenacts lines for the rich an poors
Then and is schools house door
Waycrackin jokes
Talking heratly breankly
Serving jerry darry
Get rell acting
So I asked 'em how they spend their time
With segregation on their mind
They said if you don't like to live this way
Get outta here go back to the USA
Live with all them Russians
New York agitatiors
Some say they've passed their darkest hour
Those moderates are back in power
But listen close with open ears
Theyll help us out in a couple a hundred years
But don't push em
Whatever you do
Or else you get those extremists back in
You see alabama is a soveriegn state
With soveriegn dogs and soveriegn hate
They stand for the bible for the constitution
They stand against communist revolution
They say
It's pinkos like you that freed the slaves
And their right
