1981
Went out for some smokes
Then I headed home
Alabama
Picked up by some folks
Took me to the woods
Beat me bloody
I begged them for my life
Alabama
They cut my throat
Put a noose around my neck
Hung me from a tree
Alabama
Herndon Avenue
For all the world to see
I died for you
Alabama
Those men went down
Justice did prevail
But I'm still gone
Alabama
My mama had a plan
Nothing else to do
She beat the Klan
Alabama
I pray we're done
With this lynching
1981
Alabama
I know you won't forget
Michael Donald is my name
I won't forget
Alabama
Herndon Avenue
They named it after me
I died for you
Alabama
