The Story of Old Monroe

Gather 'round us you Americans, If you believe in right and wrong. The newspapers have ignored this; I'll tell it in a song. The papers and the TV Never told the story straight, So, listen now, I will to you The honest facts relate. Let me take you to a corner Of this world that we call free. It's Monroe, North Carolina, Where the Klan rules by decree. Maybe you thought the Klan was dead And buried long ago. Well, in August 1961 You should ha' been in old Monroe. It's a town of about ten thousand, And could be a pretty place. But there's uncertainty and fear To be seen on many a face. A railroad slices through Monroe It's not one town but two towns On the right, Monroe is white And on the left is Newtown. Eighteen Freedom Riders came In August '61. At the call of young Rob Williams To see what could be done. Robert Williams was a leader, A giant of a man. He said, let's protect our families From the violence of the Klan. The Klansmen, they got busy; They came from everywhere, All armed with guns and pistols, And Chief Mauney1 didn't care. They staged a bloody riot And the deck was surely stacked, 'Cause the only ones arrested Were the ones who were attacked. Hey, listen for the frame-up! Did the Klan lay a plan? To trap Williams and his friends And make him flee the land? A couple, by name of Stegall Were driving in a car. They drove right into Newtown; That was a bit too far. For Negroes live in Newtown, And on that fatal day They'd set their lines of self-defense Against the K.K.K. The Stegalls, they were frightened; They stopped at Williams' door. And Robert Williams told the crowd To let the Stegalls go. He said, come inside my house. You'll get hurt if you stay here. And Williams let the Stegalls Inside his own house there.
