It goes like this, Mike:- There's a girl I'm dreaming of, I haven't met her yet, There's a girl I'm dreaming of, I never can forget: She proved herself so faithful, so honest and so true, Her beauty shines so brightly in this night we're passing through. This girl I'm dreaming of has a face that's calm and clear, She seems to stand for everything that I hold near and dear. This girl I dream of I have never seen, Her name is Autherine I love you Autherine tho' I'm a married man, I love you Autherine for I'm an American; And as I love my country, I love those who make her great, And the bravery of those who challenge ignorance and hate. I love you Autherine, I'll tell this cock-eyed world, How old jim crow was rocked back by one slip of a girl. Millions of us know just what I mean: I love you Autherine. Janine
