Oh, did you hear the news
coming out of Memphis Tennessee yesterday?
Yes fellows, I know you had to've heard the news
that happened down in Memphis Tennessee yesterday
there came a sniper
and wiped Martin Luther King's life away
On the 4th of April in the year 1968
on the 4th of April in the year 1968
you know there come a mean man
pop a bullet through dr King's head
Oh, when his wife and kids came down
all they could do is moan
oh, when his wife and kids came down
all they could do is moan
now the world's in a revolt
because dr. King is gone
