There's a girl I'm dreaming of, I haven't met her yet
There's a girl I'm dreaming of, I never can forget
She proved herself so faithful, so honest and so true
Her beauty shines so brightly in this night we're passing through

This girl I'm dreaming of has a face that's calm and clear
She seems to stand for everything that I hold near and dear
This girl I dream of I have never seen
Her name is Autherine

I love you Autherine tho' I'm a married man
I love you Autherine for I'm an American
And as I love my country, I love those who make her great
And the bravery of those who challenge ignorance and hate

I love you Autherine, I'll tell this cock-eyed world
How old jim crow was rocked back by one slip of a girl
Millions of us know just what I mean
I love you Autherine
