lirik lagu the death of emmett till, pt. 1 – scatman crothers
[verse 1]
folks, listen to this story, it’s one the world should know
of a negro boy, fourteen, named emmett till
from chicago to mississippi to see his uncle mose
but we won’t see little emmett anymore
[chorus]
emmett till, emmett till
his name will be a legend, we all know
tallahatchie, mississippi to see his uncle mose
but we won’t see little emmett anymore
[verse 2]
when younger he had polio, his mother’s only child
she loved him as any mother would
his daddy wore the khaki, fought brave for uncle sam
that his son might have the privilege that he should
[verse 3]
few days in tallahassee, emmett with his little pals
to money, mississippi, grocery store to buy
they bought bubble gum and candy from the woman at the store
as they turned to leave, little emmett said, “goodbye”
[verse 4]
his little pal said to him, “what you mean there, sayin’ goodbye
to the woman in money grocery store”
they said, “she’s good lookin'”, emmett said, “oohoo, you’re right”
and that remark cost emmett till his life
[chorus]
emmett till, emmett till
his name will be a legend, we all know
tallahatchie, mississippi to see his uncle mose
but we won’t see little emmett anymore
but we won’t see little emmett anymore
but we won’t see little emmett anymore
