Sister Rosa Lyrics - Singles - Neville Brothers

December 1, 1955 

Our freedom movement came alive 

And because of Sister Rosa you know 

We don't ride on the back of the bus no more 

Sister Rosa she was tired one day 

After a hard day on her job 

When all she wanted was a well deserved rest 

Not a scene from an angry mob 

A bus driver said, "Lady, you got to get up 

'Cause a white person wants that seat" 

But Miss Rosa said, "No, not no more 

I'm gonna sit here and rest my feet" 

Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark 

You started our freedom movement 

Thank you Sister Rosa Parks

Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark 

You started our freedom movement 

Thank you Sister Rosa Parks 

Now, the police came without fail 

And took Sister Rosa off to jail 

And 14 dollars was her fine 

Brother Martin Luther King knew it was our time 

The people of Montgomery sat down to talk 

It was decided all God's children should walk 

Until segregation was brought to its knees 

And we obtain freedom and equality, yeah 

Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark 

You started our freedom movement 

Thank you Sister Rosa Parks 

Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark 

You started our freedom movement 

Thank you Sister Rosa Parks
