Oxford town, oxford town Everybody has got their heads bowed down The sun don't shine above the ground Ain't 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 come in to the door, he couldn't get in All because of the color of his skin What do you think about that, my friend? Me and my gal, my gals 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 Everybody singin' a sorrowful tune Two men died beneath the mississippi moon Somebody better investigate soon
