Scottsboro Boys, The movie - Commencing In Chattanooga (reprise) lyrics
rate meCLARENCE
COMMENCING IN CHATTANOOGA
ANDY
Where did Haywood go? Anyone see him escape?
CLARENCE
COMMENCING IN CHATTANOOGA
EUGENE
Where do you think he went?
CLARENCE
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
CLARENCE
Haywood slipped past the devil
As he looked the other way
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
ANDY
The devil’s burning mad
‘Cause he’s got hell to pay
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
WILLIE
Haywood’s headin’ out for freedom
And he’s racin’ down the track
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
CHARLIE
He’s flyin’ like a black bird
Lookin’ forward, never back
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
OLEN
Haywood hears the dogs a’barkin’
As he crosses Tennessee.
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
ANDY
He’s lookin’ up and prayin’
Singin’ “Lord, remember me.”
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
OZIE
Haywood’s livin’ like a sultan
And smokes a fine cigar
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
ROY
Haywood’s got his fingers
In Sylvia’s cookie jar
ALL
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
CLARENCE
ON THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD LINE
[Thanks to Garrett for lyrics]
