Jackson, mississippi, is a mighty white town,

The white folks they like to keep the black folks down

They think they'll be allright, but there's gonna be a fight

Yes, they'll have to share that freedom crown.

They boarded a bus in washington d.c.

To enter a state half slave and half free

The wheels hummed a song and they sang along

The song of liberty, the song of liberty.
