Up from the South

When you came up from the south
the taste of Jim Crow in your mouth
thought you'd found the land of milk and honey
found a job at the stock yard
pay was bad and the work was hard
but feeling free was worth the meager money
found a wife and made a home
them Irish boys mostly left you alone
and you almost never thought of Yazoo County
(chorus)
It don't take a Moses
to part the waters of Lake Michigan
just the finest line meant to keep you in
and Big Bill's boys won't stop the burning
smell the smoke, the wind is turning
and the fire, it's heading your way
I heard they killed a boy down at the beach today
I heard they killed a boy down at the beach today
when you shipped off to France
didn't think you stood a ghost of a chance
of coming back to this town alive
in no-man's land or in the trenches
or back in Paris with all the Frenches
all you could see was your brand-new bride
now the streets are burning
and she's not home
fear is gnawing like a dog with a bone
grab your hat
out the door
find the trouble you ain't looking for
chorus
