Tyler

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



(Chorus)

Tyler is guilty a white judge has said so

What right do we got to say it's not so

Tyler is guilty a white judge has said so

What right do we got to say it's not so



(saxophone chorus)



Testify under pressure, a racist jury

Government lawyers it's all for show

Rows of white faces, false accusations

He's framed up for murder, they won't let him go



(Chorus)



Police gun was planted, no matching bullets

No prints on the handle, no proof to show

But Tyler, is guilty, the white judge's said so

They show him no mercy they won't let him go



(Chorus)



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



(Chorus X 2)



Tyler is guilty, a white judge has said so

They show him no mercy, they won't let him go

Tyler is guilty, a white judge has said so

They show him no mercy, they won't let him go
