Well there's a cold rain on the Autumn wind.
A brother murdered in Sydney town.
A Marrickville brother under legal cover.
In his home they gunned him down and we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh-ooh.
Oh they shot him down
and we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
Well they took him out at point blank range
in his home with his small young son.
Shot him dead in his Marrickville bed
with a pump action 12 gauge shotgun.
Oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh oh. Oh they shot him down
and we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
Left a fatherless child and a grieving wife.
A black fugitive on the run,
running from 2 centuries, oppressions loaded gun,
and we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh,they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years.
They got terrorists dressed in uniforms, under protection of their law.
Terrorise blacks in dawns of fear, they come crashin' through your door.
Your not safe out there on freedom street. Your not safe inside the "can".
For with their shotguns and their stun gas,
licensed to drop you where you stand.
And we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh They shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years.
Well there's a cold rain on the Autumn wind.
A brother murdered in Sydney town.
A Marrickville brother under legal cover.
In his home they gunned him down
Your not safe out there on freedom street. Your not safe inside the "can".
With their shotguns and their stun gas,
licensed to drop you where you stand.
And we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
And we say oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
oh oh oh o oh oh oh o oh ooh. Oh they shoot you down.
Sad river of tears, 200 years in the river of fear.
etc, etc, etc,
This should give you the general idea of this great version of this song.
