[Intro]
Well, I think whenever there's a deep tragedy
There's also present something of the ridiculous
So I'd like to do you a song now
Called "Talking Birmingham Jam"
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, all the signs said "Welcome in"
Welcome if you're white, my friend
Come along and watch the fights
While we feed our dogs on civil rights
We believe in sеgregation
Negroes in onе mob
Policemen, politicians, dogs in the other
[Verse 3]
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, I think whenever there's a deep tragedy
There's also present something of the ridiculous
So I'd like to do you a song now
Called "Talking Birmingham Jam"
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, all the signs said "Welcome in"
Welcome if you're white, my friend
Come along and watch the fights
While we feed our dogs on civil rights
We believe in sеgregation
Negroes in onе mob
Policemen, politicians, dogs in the other
[Verse 3]
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
