Tekst Utworu

Mornin', mornin' in the air
Silver sparkle on the green
World awaken to prepare
For the consequence unforeseen
Just one last thing left unsaid:
Who was there when that statue fell?
Who knows where they put his head?
That old copper nightmare man?
Who can say what happened that night at the courthouse?
I can
I was there that night, I saw
I watched it topple like a tree
We were scared to death to break the law
Scared we'd fail
Scared of jail
But still we stayed
And I said:
Statue, statue you are through
Statue answer
Well, who are you?
I said
Evil, you got to go
Evil answer
Who says so?
I say
Emmie
Emmie Thibodeaux
I'm the daughter of a maid
In her uniform, crisp and clean
Nothing can ever make me afraid
You can't hold on, you nightmare men
Your time is past now on your way
Get gone and never come again
For change come fast and change come slow
But everything changes
And you got to go!
Shout, shout
Devil on out!
Shh
Mama sleepin', she work all day
Don't wake mama, let her sleep
I'm the daughter of a maid (Let her dream till the mornin' come)
(She been workin' hard)
She stands all alone
Where the harsh winds blow
Salting the earth
So nothing grow too close
But still her strong blood flow
Under ground through hidden veins
Down from storm clouds when it rains
Down the plains
Down the high plateau
Down to the Gulf of Mexico
Down to Larry
And Emmie
And Jackie
And Joe
The children of Caroline Thibodeaux
