George Jackson
By Bob Dyaln

G              D
I woke up this morning,

           C           Am
There were tears in my bed.

G                   D
They killed a man I really loved,

C                    Am
Shot him through the head.

G     D    C                       Am
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.

G     D    C                    G
Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground.

Sent him off to prison,
For a seventy dollar robbery.
Closed the door behind him,
And they threw away the key.
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground

He  wouldn't take shit from noone,
He wouldn't bow down or kneel.
The authorities they hated him,
Beacuse he was just too real.
Lord Lord so they cut George Jackson down.
Lord Lord they laid him in the ground.

The prison guards they cursed him,
As they watched him from above.
But they were frightened of his power,
They were scared of his love.
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground.

Sometimes I think this whole world,
Is one big prison yard.
Some of us are prisoners,
The rest of us are guards.
Lord Lord they cut George Jackson down.
Lord Lord they laid him in the ground.

Be seeing you,
Kelwyn.
_________

He said that's alright babe,
I love you too.
But we were Tangled Up In Blue.
       - Bob Dylan

George Jackson by Bob Dylan
Most people probably don't remember George Jackson-- he was a Black Panther leader who was killed while trying to escape from Soledad prison-- but I think this song stands on it's own 35 years later... This song was only released as a 45 single and was never on an album, unless it's one of those box sets that I can't afford...

GEORGE JACKSON
A BOB DYLAN SONG

Dylan & the Dead - Joey (LIve, July 12, 1987)
Hey, at just under ten minutes, this version fits! Question: How did Dylan remember the words? I saw this tour, and he was screwing up the lyrics to the much briefer "Highway 61 Revisited" bad. Caveat: As mendacious as the biographical songs "Lenny Bruce," "Hurricane," "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," and maybe "George Jackson."
