The Scottsboro Boys

Do we reside in a world of fair trial is living here even worth our while Or do we stay in land far away From the time that we see the brighter day Well a group of young men saw the better day Only after hearing what NAACP had to say Put on trial for something called rape Having nothing to reside on, but the lord and faith Were they going to make it alive having the death sentence across their eyes Only a few made it though Thats how it was on the south side
