Tchula, Mississippi
Plantation Town
whole lotta slavery
still goin down
Tchula, Mississippi
Plantation Town
whole lotta struggle
to turn it around
I got a story, a story to tell
'bout the people of Tchula
cause they're catching hell
In this delta town, mostly black
the plantation owners tried to
take it back
Tchula, Mississippi
Plantation Town

Have you heard about Mayor Carthan
and the Tchula 7?
How they fought for the people,
how they took a stand
Struggled against the plantation
owners' racist plan
tried to bring about freedom
throughout the land

Plantation Town
whole lotta struggle

Well, Tchula, Mississippi
is a horrible tale
how the Klan vigilante
threw the mayor in jail
You may think that this happened
hundred years ago but it was 1981
not a minute before
