UB40 - Tyler lyrics

Appeal to the governor, of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal court won, too much to open
He's been there for five years and
They won't let him go

Tyler is guilty white judges said so
What right do we got to say it's not so
Tyler is guilty white judges said so
What right do we got to say it's not so

Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers it's all for sure
Rows of white faces, false accusations
He's framed up for murder
They won't let him go

His gun was planted, no matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But Tyler, is guilty
The white judges said so
They show him no mercy they won't let him go

Appeal to the governor, of Louisiana
You may get an answer, the process is slow
Federal court won, too much to open
He's been there for five years
They won't let him go

Tyler is guilty, white judges said so
They show him no mercy, they won't let him go
Tyler is guilty, white judges said so
They show him no mercy, they won't let him go
