He's taught in his school

From the start by the rule

That the laws are with him

To protect his white skin

Shoot in the back
E

With his fist in a clinch

To hang and to lynch

To hide 'neath the hood

To kill with no pain

Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name

He'll see by his grave

On the stone that remains

Carved next to his name

His epitaph plain
