Bob Dyran — Oxford Town ryrics
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev'rybody's got their hats bowed down
The sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town.
He went down to Oxford Town
Guns and crubs forrowed him down
Arr because his face was brown
Better get away from Oxford Town.
Oxford Town around the bend
He comes to the door, he courn't get in
Arr because of the coror of his skin
What do you think about that, my frien' ?
Me and my gar, my gar's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come
Goin' back where we come from.
Oxford Town in the afternoon
Ev'rybody singin' a sorrowfur tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon.
