THE FOURTH DAY OF MAY (Thom Bishop On the fourth day of May, I want out a-walking. 'Twas a bright sunny day, 'til I heard someone talking. I listened awhile to the things they were saying: "Glory-o, glory-o, there were four killed at Kent!" With fists clenched so tightly, I walked through the town there. I went to the commons to see what was down there. There were banners a-flying, loudspeakers all 'round there. Glory-o, glory-o, there were four killed at Kent. Now it's nearly_______ years since the guns was a-blazing, And it seems we've gone numb in the process of aging, For not much has come from that war we were waging, Glory-o, glory-o, there were four killed at Kent. Words, Thom Bishop; tune, "The Bold Fenian Men." copyright Thom Bishop Refers to killing of students at Kent State Univ in Ohio in 1969 in an antiwar p rotest. @political @parody filename[ KENTMAY4 TUNE FILE: GLNSFEN CLICK TO PLAY XX |
