A friend of mine is looking for the lyrics. Can anyone help? Thanks. Mike Regenstreif |

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 |
