[00:00:01] Written by：Shel Silverstein/Jim Friedman

[00:00:10] Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window

[00:00:14] Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see

[00:00:18] He's riding into town on a sway back mule

[00:00:22] Got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool

[00:00:26] He sure is talking like he's been to school

[00:00:33] And it's 1851

[00:00:43] Hey Nelly Nelly listen what he's saying

[00:00:47] Hey Nelly Nelly he says it's getting late

[00:00:51] And he says them black folks should all be free

[00:00:56] To walk around the same as you and me

[00:00:59] And he's talking about a thing he calls democracy

[00:01:06] And it's 1858

[00:01:16] Hey Nelly Nelly hear the band a playing

[00:01:21] Hey Nelly Nelly hand me down my gun

[00:01:25] Cause the men are cheering and the boys are too

[00:01:29] They're all putting on their coats of blue

[00:01:33] I can't sit around here and talk to you

[00:01:40] Cause it's 1861

[00:01:50] Hey Nelly Nelly

[00:01:52] Come to the window

[00:01:54] Hey Nelly Nelly I've come home alive

[00:01:58] My coat of blue is stained with red

[00:02:02] And the man in the tall black hat is dead

[00:02:07] But we sure will remember all the things he said

[00:02:14] In 1865

[00:02:24] Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window

[00:02:28] Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see

[00:02:33] I see white folks and colored walking side by side

[00:02:37] They're walking in a column that's a century wide

[00:02:43] It's still a long and a hard and a bloody ride

[00:02:50] In 1964
