| Description: |
Jews, Gypsies and the Half-Caste Man
Red River’s turning orange in Manitoba Drunken soldiers running rampant in the street Revenge is in the air and there will be no trial None of them will ever sit in a defendant’s seat Lock your doors and bar your windows Make sure your daughters are safe at home! Got to form a caravan Got to find another land Jews and gypsies and the Half-Caste Man. We have a flag but we have no country And families but we have no home We take a piece of paper giving us the right to bide Where once we were free to roam Land scrip traded for a piece of candy From the children of the illiterate! Can it be the Rights Of Man were only written in the sand For Jews and Gypsies and the Half-Caste Man? And is it not the same the whole world over In each and every land suddenly “possessed”? Create a race of people to be used as tools And then shunned and cast into the wilderness. Maybe we will go to Louisiana Maybe Peace River’s going to be our home Always doing what we can, ready with another plan Jews and Gypsies and the Half Caste Man. © Don Freed |
