Follow Me Lyrics
(A.J. Lerner, F. Loeure) [Recorded Decebber 12, 1967, Hollywood] Through the clouds, gray with years, over hill, wet with tears, To a world young and free, we shall fly, follow me. April green, everywhere, April songs always there, Come and hear, come and see, follow me. To the tree where our hopes hang high, To the dream that should never die, Where our long lost tomorrows still are in the sweet bye and bye. Time goes by

It was the morning of October 6th, 1960
I was wearing my brown suit
Preparing to leave the house of D.
Shook some hands then adios Brooklyn amigos
Maybe some of them had hopes of seeing me
again
Some even said that my judge-Judge Gerald
Culkin-
Wouldn't play it by the book
Maybe let us off the hook
But, WOH-OO-WOH, I knew better.
SAL & SALVADOR

To cross into another neighborhood

The blancos and the nigger gangs
Well, they'd kill you if they could.

Tonight you're saying you love me And this is where it all begins But if you don't mean it I'm hoping The sun never comes up again We finally shared all our feelings Feelings we felt for so long If this is our last night together I hope it stays dark from now on The world would stop turning Fire would stop burning And leaves wouldn't fly in the wind If you don't love me I'm hoping Th

Well, I entered the courtroom, state of New
York
County of New York, just some spic
They scrubbed off the sidewalk
Guilty by my dress
Guilty in the press
Let The Capeman burn for the murder
Well the "Spanish boys" had their day in
court
And now it was time for some fuckin' law and
order
The electric chair
For the greasy pair
Said the judge to the court reporter

This One's For You Lyrics
Once I first heard the sound of ska Then my feet began to move My legs and arms got a life of their own To this beat they can?t refuse I?m telling you Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady Music the jamaican way Once bitten and twice as shy But this beat I can?t deny This fly is here to stay Now give me ska the jamaican way<

The newspapers and the T.V. crews
Well, they'd kill you if they could
AUREA & WOMEN
Angel of Mercy, people are suffering
All over the world
A Spanish boy could be killed every night of
the week
SAL
But just let some white boy die
And the world goes crazy for blood-Latin
blood.
I don't lie when I speak.
SAL & SALVADOR
Well they shackled my hands
SAL
A heavy belt around my waist to restrain me
SAL & SALVADOR
And they shackled my legs
SAL
Hernandez, the "Umbrella Man," chained
beside me
The poised tongues on easy street Are shifting and delivering The insidious snakes/the hackers and the meat Are counting out the face of things I know when you bring back sweet Dougy's? car You don't tell him where it has been He's funny and cool and so is your pose Conditional love wins out again I'm feeling good and I don't know if that's alright
Through the streets of Spanish Harlem
Calling old friends on the corners
SAL & AUREA
Just to lay our prayers upon them
SAL
Crying
Adios Hermanos, Adios
SAL & SALVADOR
Adios Hermanos, Adios
