Words by Richard Farina; melody, traditional English ("I Loved a Lass")
Rise Up Singing chapter: Freedom, p.59

R.U.S. chords: E - - A - / E - D E B7 / E B7 E - / D - E -

My slight change: E - - A - / E - D E - / E B7 E - / D - E -

Come round by my side and I'll sing you a song
I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong
On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine
And the choirs kept singing of Freedom

And Addie Mae Collins, her number was one
At an old baptist church there was no need to run
And the choirs kept singing of Freedom
