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
