ballad of birmingham – dudley randall (poet) كلمات اغاني
“mother dear, may i go downtown
instead of out to play
and march the streets of birmingham
in a freedom march today?”
“no, baby, no, you may not go
for the dogs are fierce and wild
and clubs and hoses, guns and jails
aren’t good for a little child.”
“but, mother, i won’t be alone
other children will go with me
and march the streets of birmingham
to make our country free.”
“no, baby, no, you may not go
for i fear those guns will fire
but you may go to church instead
and sing in the children’s choir.”
she has combed and brushed her night_dark hair
and bathed rose petal sweet
and drawn white gloves on her small brown hands
and white shoes on her feet
the mother smiled to know her child
was in the sacred place
but that smile was the last smile
to come upon her face
for when she heard the explosion
her eyes grew wet and wild
she raced through the streets of birmingham
calling for her child
she clawed through bits of glass and brick
then lifted out a shoe
“o, here’s the shoe my baby wore
but, baby, where are you?”
