The Klan rode through old Monroe Town They rode there many a year One black day they rode too far The cry of freedom was near Monroe Town is a dying town It's a human scar with their feathers and their tar With guns in their in their hands they rose to a man Beat Monroe clan they made a stand There is a courthouse in Monroe Town The truth is never let in It doesn't really matter what you have done You are judged by the colour of your skin Freedom had a brother in Monroe Town Rob Williams was his name Liberty was his battle cry And justice was his aim Every state has a Monroe Town Just look and you will see Let's get together and clean them out Let's really make our country free
