The Oak Ridge Boys - Calvary, Dallas, Memphis, L.A. lyrics
[The Oak Ridge Boys - Calvary, Dallas, Memphis, L.A. lyrics]
We lost our four big chances
Calvary Dallas Memphis LA
In two thousand years, four chances
A cross and a gun stole them away
A man called John loved by everyone
Who's smile was as bright as his dream
And his brother Bob together with God
Planned a beautiful scene
They stood hand in hand with
A noble black man
Whose voice made your heart want to sing
They taught brotherhood that
This world understood
The Irish, a Jew, and a black man called King
Then hate with a tail climbed
From out of hell
With a forked tongue spoke from a tree
The Jew died for sin, the black man for skin
The Irish, they died for liberty
At Calvary, Dallas, Memphis, LA
Calvary Dallas Memphis LA
In two thousand years, four chances
A cross and a gun stole them away
A man called John loved by everyone
Who's smile was as bright as his dream
And his brother Bob together with God
Planned a beautiful scene
They stood hand in hand with
A noble black man
Whose voice made your heart want to sing
They taught brotherhood that
This world understood
The Irish, a Jew, and a black man called King
Then hate with a tail climbed
From out of hell
With a forked tongue spoke from a tree
The Jew died for sin, the black man for skin
The Irish, they died for liberty
At Calvary, Dallas, Memphis, LA
