[00:03.22]
[00:13.44]I was born a black boy
[00:16.33]My name is Emmett Till
[00:19.69]Walked this earth for 14 years
[00:23.02]One night I was killed
[00:27.89]For speaking to a woman
[00:31.05]Whose skin was white as dough
[00:34.05]That's a sin in Mississippi
[00:37.52]But how was I to know?
[00:39.96]
[00:42.49]I come down from Chicago
[00:45.32]To visit with my kin
[00:48.56]There I was a cheeky kid
[00:51.52]I guess I always been
[00:56.36]But the harm they put upon me
[00:59.77]Was too hard for what I done
[01:03.45]For I was just a black boy
[01:07.30]I never hurt no one
[01:11.04]
[01:11.78]Oh oh oh oh oh oh ...
[01:24.01]
[01:24.80]They took me from my uncle's house
[01:27.88]Mose Wright was his name
[01:31.06]He'd be later standing without hesitation
[01:34.43]Point the blame
[01:39.24]At the ones who beat and cut me
[01:42.27]And shot me with the gun
[01:45.42]And threw me in the river
[01:48.16]Like I was trash when they were done
[01:51.24]
[01:53.61]I was sent back to my mother
[01:56.60]At least what was left of me
[02:00.31]She kept my casket open
[02:03.48]For the whole wide world to see
[02:08.28]The awful desecration
[02:11.26]And the evidence of hate
[02:14.80]You could not recognize me
[02:17.68]The mutilation was so great
[02:20.86]
[02:23.21]Became a cry for justice then
[02:26.11]To be finally fulfilled
[02:28.84]All because of me, a black boy
[02:32.81]My name was Emmett Till
[02:35.20]
[02:37.97]Oh oh oh oh oh oh ...
[03:00.81]
[03:03.45]Oh, I had rather lived
[03:06.18]Till I was too old to die young
[03:10.05]Not even a soul I left behind
[03:13.31]All that might have come
[03:18.27]Summer clouds above my head
[03:21.51]The grass beneath my feet
[03:24.53]The warmth of a good woman
[03:27.76]Her kisses soft and sweet
[03:30.57]
[03:36.05]Perhaps to be a father
[03:39.15]Of a black boy of my own
[03:42.49]Watch him grow into a kinder world
[03:45.09]Than I had known
[03:50.59]Where no child would be murdered
[03:54.11]For the color of his skin
[03:57.02]And love would be the only thing
[04:00.20]Inside the hearts of men
[04:02.80]
[04:05.22]They say the horror of that night
[04:08.71]Is haunting heaven still
[04:11.50]Where I am one more black boy
[04:14.65]My name is Emmett Till
[04:26.16]
