The 90 and the 9

歌詞

When the train left the station my baby sat there cryin' Sayin' why we got to go daddy down to Charlotte town The road is long and the way is hard It's so peaceful in our own backyard So why we got to go daddy why we goin' to go Just give me one good reason why we got to go I said honey you ain't read your little history book Better dust it off and take another look If the Democrats don't make it then I'll have myself to blame If we don't raise some sand then our votes might slip away And our civil rights and our equal pay And then it's too bad Jim for the 90 and 9 This may be the last time I don't know I don't know I don't know This may be the last time I don't know It may be the last time for the 90 and the 9 They promised war was done but peace didn't declare Our young folks are still going there I didn't raise our child to go to war this time Honey they're just shooting at the 90 and the 9 I can't understand when we're losin' jobs Why they go jackin' up the price on gas When the moment's right the price will fall on time Honey they're just jackin' with the 90 and 9 Yonder comes a brother on his way from town Let's make his acquaintance and then we'll sit right down Sayin' how goes the battle what news do you hear What's the circumstances for working folks 'round here Let's have a cup of coffee spend a pleasant time We're all paid-up members of the 90 and the 9 This may be the last time I don't know I don't know but I could be wrong I wonder what would brother Pete say I hope it's not the last time for the 90 and the 9
