Wake up momma, we got a little, we got a little to do

Get the children, they're going to want to hear it too

600 strong to cross the Edmund Pettus bridge

We won't stop for no law man until they get it fixed

We all dream of being lonely

Know it's not an easy thing to do

We got to get what is left of yours and mine

If not we all lose

Calm down momma, we got to find a place to hide

The law men came without warning, and then they came for our lives

Calm down momma, now honey, honey don't you cry

Because there's a man around the corner and it's either you or I

We all dream of being lonely

I know it's not an easy thing to do

We got to get what is left of yours and mine

If not we all lose

So wake up momma, we got a little, we got a little to do

The King has came with his men and they want you

To march strong across that Edmund Pettus bridge

We won't stop for no law man, until it gets fixed
