Laurel Aitken - Run Powell Run
'Bout repatriation
They're making this big confusion
'Bout repatriation
Mr. Powell, he is afraid
That black man will take him to his grave
We don't want no hostility
We're just begging him for equality
Run, Powell, run
Run, Powell, run
Run, Powell, run, run
Your mouth talk, with such a might
You only making black man unite
Your mouth talk, with such a might
You only making black man unite
You been ruling three hundred years
And we've been living in hope and fear
We don't want no hostility
We're just begging you for equality
Run, Powell, run, run
Black man a come
Run Powell, run, run
(..)
Every man have a right
Whether you green, black or you white
Every man has a right
Whether you green, black or you white
No matter what you say or do
You think of it, we are human too
We don't want no hostility
We're just begging you for equality
Run, Powell, run
Till you tumble down
Run, Powell, run, run, run
Black man a come
It's a damn blasted shame
Mr. Heath join the campaign
It's a damn blasted shame
Mr. Heath join the campaign
You can have your fun
But I know freedom day will come
And we will buy you a drink a' rum
And then we will sing 'We Shall Overcome'
Run, Powell, run
Black man a come
Run, Powell, run, run, run
Till you tumble down
Run, Powell, run
Black man a come
Run, Powell, run
