Tyler - UB40, Ali Campbell, Michael Virtue

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

Tyler is guilty white judges said so

What right do we got to say it’s not so

Tyler is guilty white judges 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 sure

Rows of white faces, false accusations

He’s framed up for murder, they won’t let him go

His gun was planted, no matching bullets

No points on the handle, no proof to show

But Tyler, is guilty, the white judges said so

They show him no mercy they won’t let him go

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

Tyler is guilty, white judges said so

They show him no mercy, they won’t let him go

Tyler is guilty, white judges said so

They show him no mercy, they won’t let him go
