Oxford Town Lyrics - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan

Oxford town, Oxford town 

Everybody's got their heads bowed down 

Sun don't shine above the ground 

Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford town 

He went down to Oxford town 

Guns and clubs followed him down 

All because his face was brown 

Better get away from Oxford town 

Oxford town around the bend 

Come to the door, he couldn't get in 

All because of the color of his skin 

What do you think about that, my friend? 

Me, my gal, and my gal's son 

We got met with a tear gas bomb 

Don't even know why we come 

We're goin' back where we came from

Oxford town in the afternoon 

Everybody's singin' a sorrowful tune 

Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon 

Somebody better investigate soon
