Jackson, Mississippi, is a mighty white town, the white folks they like to keep the black folks down they think they'll be alright, but there's gonna be a fight and they'll have to share that freedom crown, yes, they'll have to share that freedom crown. Freedom Riders roll along Freedom Riders won't be long won't be long. They boarded a bus in Washington D.C. to enter a state half slave and half free the wheels hummed a song and they sang along the song of liberty, the song of liberty. [Chorus:] Jimmy Farmer was a hard fightin' man decided one day that he had to make a stand he led them down to slavery town and they threw Jim Farmer in the can and they threw Jim Farmer in the can. [Chorus:] One of these days and it won't be long the solid South is gonna sing another song They'll understand that a man's not a man 'til he has all the freedoms of the land. [Chorus:]
