judy reisman - ballad of annie hayes lyrics
annie b. hayes
annie annie hayes
how did you end your maiden days?
torn a-sunder by the great white fathers
one two three four mint juleps
stately plantation and southern tradition
walk along annie
smell that air annie
clap your hand and turn around;
such a soft yellow dress to whirl in
to whirl and twirl and whirl in
a car’s nearby annie —
don’t start to cry annie
it’s going slow
voices you know
be polite
pray god that they’ll go
they’re close around now annie
your voice is gone
run far away, far away
their eyes are bright
full of bravery and might
faces red instead of white
one two three four mint juleps
stately plantation and southern tradition
and off you go now, annie
speeding away, breaking inside
laughing all about you
poking good fun and teasing –
nothing too bad yet
perhaps you’ll get away lucky
like some of the others
the car has stopped and now the fun begins
try and p-ss us by, little black girl
don’t be afraid
have a slug of gin
we’re only your friends
knew you since you were small
good family men one and all
[spoken – ] catch her
now down you go my little girl
the ripping and the tearing
the crying and the pain
the laughing and the cutting, and
again – again – again
one two three four mint juleps
stately plantation and southern tradition
you’re lying on the ground, annie
that’s your own blood all around, annie
your mother she is crying
your father carried you inside
the clinic wouldn’t help you
the sheriff said “get out!”
so you died
one two three four mint juleps
stately plantation and southern tradition
