Send "Tyler" Ringtone to Cell

Appeal to the governor, of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal court won, too much to open
He's been there for five years and they won't let him go

(Chorus)
Tyler is guilty a white judge has said so
What right do we got to say it's not so
Tyler is guilty a white judge has said so
What right do we got to say it's not so

(saxophone chorus)

Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers it's all for show
Rows of white faces, false accusations
He's framed up for murder, they won't let him go

(Chorus)

Police gun was planted, no matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But Tyler, is guilty, the white judge's said so
They show him no mercy they won't let him go

(Chorus)

Appeal to the governor, of Louisiana
You may get an answer, the process is slow
Federal court won, too much to open
He's been there for five years, they won't let him go

(Chorus X 2)

Tyler is guilty, a white judge has said so
They show him no mercy, they won't let him go
Tyler is guilty, a white judge has said so
They show him no mercy, they won't let him go
