lyrics

Wednesday morn in Alcolu we got a posse rounded up
it's a black day in our little town we got a killer run amok
the Stinney boy says he saw them girls on their way across the rails
so let's take off our blindfolds boys and put our fingers on the scales

we gonna spin the case real good we gonna prove him dead to rights
we duped him into takin' ice cream in a bargain for his life
you know we got that jury stacked up whiter than a Wilco show
and his lawyer's up on next fall's ballot so we know which way he'll go

the young girls asked our killer here where the wild maypops grow
and his lust rose up insatiable as he watched those white girls go
when they denied him he rectified them with a railroad spike to the face
he ain't got no corroborating testimony so I rest my case

strap him in ol' sparky here and we'll give these folks a show
and bolstered on the word of god we gonna make this young n' grow
you cowards want to turn back now after lookin' in his eyes
the law has had its final say and it won't be compromised
