Brown Ollie Mae Brown John Buffington Pat Cameron James Earl Chaney Johnnie Mae Chappell	We've been 'buked and we've been scorned, We've been talked about sure's you're born But we'll never turn back No, we'll never turn back We have walked through the shadows of death We had to walk all by ourselves But we'll never turn back No, we'll never turn back We have serverd our time in jail With no money for to go our bail But we'll never turn back No, we'll never turn back We have hung our heads and cried Cried for those like Lee who died Died for you, and died for me Died for the cause of equality But we'll never turn back No, we'll never turn back Until we've all been freed and we have equality — Bertha Gober Copyright © 1963
