Down with the Ku Klux Klan

From the Album Well May The World Go (Smithsonian Folkways)

People marched in North Carolina
North Carolina, North Carolina
People marched in North Carolina
Against the Ku Klux Klan

Loaded with guns and loaded with rifles
Loaded with rifles, loaded with rifles
Loaded with guns and loaded with rifles
Came the Ku Klux Klan

Then I heard them bullets a-blazing
Bullets a-blazing, bullets a-blazing
Then I heard them bullets a-blazing
From the Ku Klux Klan

Five people dead in North Carolina
North Carolina, North Carolina
Five people dead in North Carolina
Down with the Ku Klux Klan

People marched in North Carolina
North Carolina, North Carolina
People marched in North Carolina
Against the Ku Klux Klan
