Those Three Are on My Mind Songtext
von Pete Seeger

I think of Andy in the cold wet clay
Those three are on my mind
With his comrades down beside him
On that brutal day

Those three are on my mind

There lays young James in his mortal pain
Those three are on my mind
So I ask the killers can you see those three again

Those three are on my mind

I see young Michael
With his dark eyed bride
Those three are on my mind
And three proud mothers
Weeping side by side

Those three are on my mind


But I′m grieving yet
And for some the sky is bright
I cannot give up hoping
For a morning light
So I ask the killers do you sleep at night

Those three are on my mind

I see tin roof shanties
Where my brothers live
Those three are on my mind
And the burnt out churches
Where they sing we forgive

Those three are on my mind

I know of Tom Paine's Water Tree
I know the price of liberty
Now I ask the question that is deep inside of me
Did they also burn the courthouse
When they killed those three

Those three are on my mind
Those three are on my mind
