Sundown Town

Mine eyes have seen the beauty of a land bright and fair 
  My soul looked out and wondered, can we make the journey there 
  But I've lost my sight and I have to be led 
  Well I mean to work for justice till I'm dead 

  Sundown town, sundown town 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  There won't be no more friends around 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 

  Well I used to preach and I used to pray 
  Was the prayinest man that you ever did see 
  But they ran my people off one day 
  Now there ain't nobody round that look like me 

  Sundown town, sundown town 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  There won't be no more friends around 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 

  Well we used to sing and we used to shout 
  Was the shoutinest church that you ever did see 
  But I ain't going to preach no more and I ain't goin' to sing 
  And I don't feel at home in this town no more 

  Sundown town, sundown town 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  Ain't no ???  hangin' around 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 

  If you black, you better get back 
  And if you brown, don't you hang around 
  And if you red, you might be dead 
  And if you ain't white, man, you just ain't right 
  No no 

  Sundown town, sundown town 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  There won't be no friends around 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 

  Don't let 'em catch you 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  Don't let 'em catch you 
  Oh, don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  Sundown town, sundown town 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down 
  There won't be no friends around 
  Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goin' down
