Music by Billy Bragg and Wilco
From Mermaid Avenue Volume 3
G
Paul Robeson, he's the man
C
That faced the Ku Klux Klan
G
On hollow grove's golfing ground
D
His words come sounding
G
And all around him there
C
To jump and clap and cheer
G D
I sent the best, the best I had
G
My thirty thousand
G
The Klansman leader said
C
That Paul would lose his head
G
When thirty five thousand vets
D
Broke up that concert
G
But less than four thousand came
C
To side with the Klan
G D
But around Paul's lonesome oak
G
My thirty thousand
C
A beersoaked brassy band
G
Did snortle round the grounds
G
Four hundred noblest souls
D
Westchester's manhood
G
And they looked exactly like
C
The fleas on a tiger's back
G D
Lost fish in the waters of
G
My thirty thousand
