wynton marsalis - the ballad of fannie lou: part 1 lyrics
fannie lou was born
in a fertile land
oh, fannie lou came up
workin’ harder than any man
and when they dropped down
fannie, fannie she would stand
she could see
‘round saturn’s rings
and she heard
songs that the angels sing
when she spoke
every word had wings
fannie, fannie
oh, sweet fannie lou
i’m a southern boy
from a southern town
i used to see fannie
well she used to be around
boy, she was something
something touch you
way deep down
oh, fannie lou
with your eyes so clear
voice so strong
it drew the people near
when she spoke
she calmed the people’s fear
fannie, fannie
oh, sweet fannie lou
in a southern style
they beat fannie blue
and they did things to her
as it was their southern way to do
that didn’t stop fannie
from doin’ what she was here to do
on freedom farm
people pickin’ poke
fannie lou
liked to laugh and joke
what she did
cause folks to count their vote
fannie, fannie
fannie, fannie lou
fannie, fannie
what they do to you
oh, fannie, fannie
fannie, fannie lou
