Equal Justice to All People

In a dirty run-down shack outside of town Lives a young girl whose name is Mary Brown Her daddy is a sickly man you see And her mother passed away when she was three Now Mary tries to do the best she can But It's hard for a girl to play the part of a man And what little money that she ever makes Goes to buy her dad the medicine he takes Well, there's talk around the town again it seems They say Mary's gone and done an awful thing But stealing just isn't Mary's way Though they found she had the stolen money yesterday In the trial she told a stranger gave her money And asked her to keep it until Sunday But the jury had no mercy on her say Deliberation lacking in this case Twenty years have come and gone since then And Mary's been back pretty close to ten Her daddy dies a year after she left And today a dying man admitted the theft Is this equal justice to all people Is this the way our law provides Must we judge a man by his social standards Or will we change our minds and stand for equal justice Or will we change our minds and stand for equal justice
