Paroles
SLATON I have an announcement to make: Leo Frank is no longer a prisoner in the Fulton Tower At five o'clock this morning, he was removed to another prison location Which will not be disclosed at this time WATSON Will you walk with your head held high? Or move aside when they're passin' you by? Will you run when the fires are fanned? And where will you stand when the flood comes? Will you ride by the side of God Or will you hide in the soil and the sod? Will you fight for the soul of your land? Well, where will you stand when the flood comes? Where will you stand when the flood comes? SLATON (overlapping) Two thousand years ago Another governor washed his hands and turned a Jew over to a mob Ever since then, that governor's name has been a curse If, today, another Jew went to his grave because I failed to do my duty I would all my life find his blood on my hands I have reviewed all the evidence in the case of the State of Georgia Against Leo Frank and I have decided To commute his sentence from the death penalty to imprisonment for life All I wish now is that the people of Georgia withhold judgement until They have given calm and careful consideration to the statement I have prepared on the case CRAIG Mr. Dorsey, you care to comment? DORSEY I was not a part of the Governor's decision, Mr. Craig. I'm as surprised as you are WATSON & ENSEMBLE Will you beg for the Jew's reward Or walk with us at the side of the Lord? Put your soul in the Devil's hand? Well, where will you stand when the flood comes? WATSON (to DORSEY) Where will you stand? Where will you stand? WATSON & ENSEMBLE Where will you stand? DORSEY With you, Mr. Watson. I'll be proud to stand with you WATSON God bless the next Governor of Georgia! DORSEY Yes, I see through the fog and dust So let the mob do whatever they must Slaton jumps at the Jew's command: DORSEY & WATSON Well, where will you stand when the flood comes? Where will you stand? ALL Where will you stand? CRAIG And the news spread like wildfire An angry crowd marched north on Peachtree Street Toward the Governor's Mansion, yelling "Hang the Yankee-lover!" ALL See them laugh when an Angel dies! See them tell all their Jew-loving lies! But they'll run on the Judgement Day! Someone's gonna pay when the flood comes! See the blood as a city grieves! See the stain that the Jew-money leaves! Traitors won't keep the mobs at bay! Someone's gonna pay when the flood comes! CRAIG Windows were smashed in Jewish stores Jacob Seligman, a clothier, was beaten and left for dead MRS. PHAGAN Mary, Mary, the angel child My child: WATSON Mary, Mary the angel child Still your name and your soul are defiled Thank God you can't hear the things they say But someone's gonna pay! DORSEY & WATSON Someone's gonna pay! ALL Someone's gonna pay! Georgia, home of the strong and sure Fight like hell for the land of the pure! Teach the traitor to run away! Georgia, home of the strong and sure Fight like hell for the land of the pure! Teach the traitor to run away! Georgia, home of the strong and sure Fight like hell for the land of the pure! Teach the traitor to run away! Someone's gotta pay! Someone's gotta pay when the flood comes!
