Here's a song we wrote about Rosa Parks:

ROSA, OH, ROSA
(Bev and Jerry Praver)

1. No I won't stand up I'm tired
All day long I stood on my feet
I earn my living just like you
I don't have to give up my seat

chorus:
No I won't stand up, I'm tired
No I won't stand up, I'm not gonna do it
No I won't stand up, I'm tired
No I won't stand up, that's all there is to it

2. No I won't stand up, I'm tired
Don't like you treating me this way
Jim Crow is riding on this bus
And the time has come to disobey

3. No I won't stand up, I'm tired
Oppression is at every hand
Disgrace and shame are everywhere
See if you can make me stand

4. But I will stand up for justice
I'll stand against all your attacks
And I will stand and shout the truth
And I'll stand up for the rights of blacks

final chorus:

Yes I will stand up, I'm tired
Yes I will stand up, I am not gonna do it
Yes I will stand up, I'm tired
Yes I will stand up, that's all there is to it
