William Moore - Phil Ochs

Walkin' down an Alabama road

Rememberin' what the Bible told

Walkin' with a letter in his hand

Dreaming of another southern land

Walkin' down an Alabama road

And he went by the name of William Moore

Now what are you doing William Moore

Why the letter in your hand?

There’s only one southern land

And he went by the name of William Moore

What price the glory of one man?

What price the glory of one man?

What price the hopes

What price the dreams

And what price the glory of one man?

Remembering what his grandfather done

Fought for the south in '61

A hundred years have passed by since then

Now Moore is fighting for the south again

Remembering what his grandfather done

Remembering the time in World War Two

And the South Pacific Island that he knew

Remembering the young men that he killed

And the praying that the guns of hate be stilled

Remembering the time in World War Two

What price the glory of one man?

What price the glory of one man?

What price the hopes

What price the dreams

And what price the glory of one man?

And they shot him on the Alabama road

Forgot about what the Bible told

They shot him with that letter in his hand

As though he were a dog and not a man

And they shot him on the Alabama road

Did you say it was a shame when he died?

Did you say he was fool because he tried?

Did you wonder who had fired the gun?

Did you know that it was you who fired the gun?

Did you say it was a shame when he died?

What price the glory of one man?

What price the glory of one man?

What price the hopes

What price the dreams

And what price the glory of one man?
