Oxford town, Oxford town, everybodies got their heads bowed down
          A                    E
The sun dont shine above the ground, better get away from Oxford town.

He went down to Oxford town, guns and clubs they followed him down
        A                  E
All because his face was brown, better get away from Oxford town.

E      A                    E
Oxford town around the bend, come to the door but he couldn't get in
          A                     E
All because of the colour of his skin, what'd ya think about that my friend?

Me and my girl and my girl's son, we got met by a tear gas bomb
        A                  E
Dont even know why we come, we're going back where we come from.

Oxford town in the afternoon, everybodies singing a soft tune
           A                  E
Two men died under the mississippi moon, somebody better investigate soon.
