El Paso
©2019 music and words by John R. Black, ℗42nd Street Music Seattle
El Paso cries at night
Why are my children dead
Who is that man
That came to town
And shot them in the head
El Paso cries at night
Today my dear wife died
Who is that man
That came to town
There is no place to hide
(Chorus:)
Let’s take those guns and bullets
Bury them in the sand
Clear our minds of hateful thoughts
Toward our fellow man
Let’s take those guns and bullets
Bury them good and deep
And arm ourselves with hope and love
For all humanity
El Paso cries at night
Mommy and Daddy died
Who is that man
That came to town
Oh how hard we cried
El Paso cries at night
Why did my brother die
Who is that man
That came to town
There was no reason why
(Chorus)
Oh Oh Mr. President
What’s on your mind today
Or is it just a tweet or two
That’s all you have to say
Oh Oh Mr. President
What’s on your mind today
America’s a melting pot
And were’re all here to stay
(Chorus)
And arm ourselves with hope and love
For all humanity
