Lyrics State of Arkansas - Pete Seeger
My
name
is
Terry
Roberts,
From
Little
Rock
I
come.
I
went
down
to
the
schoolhouse,
The
place
they
kept
me
from.
I
went
down
to
that
schoolhouse,
And
this
is
what
I
saw...
State
troopers
with
steel
helmets
In
the
State
of
Arkansas.
I
went
up
to
the
troopers
And
said,
"Please
let
me
in."
And
all
their
guns
were
pointed
At
the
color
of
my
skin.
They
kept
me
from
that
schoolhouse
Where
I′d
be
by
law.
And
that's
what
they
call
justice
In
the
State
of
Arkansas.
Now
his
name
is
Orval
Faubus,
The
governor
of
the
state,
He
sent
his
army
charging
down,
Nine
kids
at
the
gate.
Three
hundred
National
Guard
were
there
Dressed
up
to
fight
a
war,
And
that
is
why
I′m
late
for
school
In
the
State
of
Arkansas.
Oh
listen,
Mr.
Governor,
And
Mr.
President,
too.
Give
me
that
constitution
That's
what
you've
got
to
do.
Give
me
that
constitution
I
ask
for
nothing
more.
Yes,
that′s
what
I
want
to
study
In
the
State
of
Arkansas.
I′ve
traveled
this
wide
world
over,
Some
ups
and
downs
I've
saw,
But
I
never
knew
what
misery
was
Til
I
hit
old
Arkansas
