KKK Blues Lyrics

I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I got a fear inside me
Call it the KKK

Well they beat up my woman
Found her lying in a field of hay
Well they beat up my woman
Found her lying in a field of hay
They sent a posse out
But the posse
They all in the KKK

Well there's a mess upon the ground there
My brother hanging from a tree
Well there's a mess upon the ground there
My brother hanging from a tree
I got to move away, so fast
Cos the KKK gonna get me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
