Crooked Still - Oxford Town / Cumberland Gap lyrics

Oxford town oxford town everybody's got their heads bowed down Sun don't shine above the ground ain't a goin down to oxford town He went down to oxford town guns and clubs followed him down All because his face was brown better get away from oxford town Oxford town around the bend he come to the door but he couldn't get in All because of the color of his skin what do you think about that my friend Me and my gal and my gals son, we got hit by a tear gas bomb I don't even know why we come i'm a going back to where i'm from Oxford town in the afternoon everybody singing a sorrowful tune Two men died 'neath the mississippi moon somebody better investigate soon
