The Lonesome Death of Medgar Evers


A man was murdered. His kids watched. His murderer was caught. Eventually. One verse and a chorus. That's all that needs saying.
Black night fallen, hate shoots hard like coal
Daddy, daddy, watching your blood flow
Sheets of fire, Holy Ghost glows white
Daddy, daddy, watch you die tonight

They caught your killer 30 years late
Medgar, believe in justice; Medgar, believe in fate

Black night fallen, hate shoots hard like coal
Daddy, daddy, watching your blood flow
Sheets of fire, Holy Ghost glows white
Daddy, daddy, watch you die tonight

They caught your killer 30 years late
Medgar, believe in justice; Medgar, believe in fate
