Dylan
I
woke
up
this
mornin′,
there
were
tears
in
my
bed
Je
me
suis
réveillé
ce
matin,
il
y
avait
des
larmes
dans
mon
lit
They
killed
a
man
I
really
loved,
shot
him
the
head
Ils
ont
tué
un
homme
que
j'aimais
vraiment,
lui
ont
tiré
une
balle
dans
la
tête
Lord,
Lord,
they
cut
George
Jackson
down
Seigneur,
Seigneur,
ils
ont
abattu
George
Jackson
Lord,
they
laid
him
in
the
ground.
Seigneur,
ils
l'ont
enterré.
Sent
him
off
to
prison
for
a
seventy-dollar
robbery
L'ont
envoyé
en
prison
pour
un
vol
de
soixante-dix
dollars
Closed
the
door
behind
him
and
threw
away
the
key
Ont
fermé
la
porte
derrière
lui
et
jeté
la
clé
Lord,

Jackson

Seigneur,
Seigneur,
ils
ont
abattu
George
Jackson
Lord,

He
wouldn't
take
shit
from
no
one,
he
wouldn′t
bow
down
or
kneel
Il
ne
se
laissait
pas
marcher
sur
les
pieds
par
personne,
il
ne
s'agenouillait
pas
et
ne
se
prosternait
pas
Authorities,
they
hated
him
because
he
was
just
too
real
Les
autorités
le
détestaient
parce
qu'il
était
trop
vrai

Seigneur,
Seigneur,

Jackson
Lord,

l'ont
enterré.
Prison
guards,
they
hitted
him
as
they
cursed
him
from
above
Les
gardiens
de
prison
le
frappaient
en
le
maudissant
d'en
haut
But
they
were
frightened
of
his
power,
they
were
scared
of
his
love
Mais
ils
étaient
effrayés
par
son
pouvoir,
ils
avaient
peur
de
son
amour
Lord,

Seigneur,
Seigneur,
ils
ont
abattu
George
Jackson
Lord,
they
laid
him
in
the
ground.
Seigneur,
ils
l'ont
enterré.
Sometimes
I
think
this
whole
world
is
one
big
prison
yard
Parfois,
je
pense
que
tout
ce
monde
est
une
grande
cour
de
prison
Some
of
us
are
prisoners,
the
rest
of
us
are
guards
Certains
d'entre
nous
sont
des
prisonniers,
les
autres
sont
des
gardiens

Lord,
they

George
Jackson

laid
him
in
