BOB DYLAN lyrics : "Oxford Town"


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 clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown

Better get away from Oxford Town.

Oxford Town around the bend

He comes to the door, he couln't get in
All because of the color of his skin
What do you think about that, my frien' ?


Me and my gal, my gal'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 sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon

Somebody better investigate soon.
