[00:06.37]Well, I reckon now's a good time
[00:08.67]To tell you ‘bout a good man
[00:10.85]Who tried to help the world
[00:12.83]Finally understand –
[00:14.60]That it's so wrong to judge another
[00:17.14]By the color of their skin –
[00:19.40]That good man's name – John Howard Griffin
[00:28.25]John was a white man
[00:30.17]Who just had to know
[00:32.24]How it feels to be a black man
[00:34.56]In the land of Jim Crow –
[00:36.61]So, he underwent treatments
[00:38.75]To turn his skin dark brown
[00:41.38]Then he headed down South –
[00:44.47]To take a look around
[00:49.53]“It's a crazy idea!”, folks said
[00:51.95]“You'll get yourself killed!”
[00:54.03]But John found a doctor
[00:56.04]Who prescribed special pills –
[00:58.35]An' he laid under a sunlamp
[01:00.41]Cotton pads on his eyes
[01:02.68]‘Til one day, in the mirror
[01:05.34]He saw a man he didn't recognize
[01:11.36]He knew he'd meet some hard times
[01:13.48]But he really got a shock –
[01:15.80]Life as a black man
[01:17.74]Was harder than a rock –
[01:20.11]Couldn't find a job
[01:22.07]Not even a restroom to use
[01:24.50]Talkin' ‘bout that Jim Crow –
[01:27.71]Jim Crow blues
[01:46.76]Well, John wrote a book, “Black Like Me”
[01:58.73]Mighta heard about it – seen him on TV
[02:03.01]But in his hometown in Texas
[02:05.35]They burnt his effigy – had to move to Mexico
[02:10.65]To protect his family
[02:16.36]A few years later, back in the land of the free
[02:20.45]While John was on a road trip in Mississippi
[02:24.83]His car broke down an' as he wondered what to do next
[02:29.09]Some locals showed up an' beat him half to death
[02:37.77]They beat John with chains for educatin' the nation
[02:42.20]Bein' a truth sayer is a dangerous occupation
[02:46.43]Some cheered his dedication to a world free of hatred
[02:50.99]Others cursed the man, yellin' “You're a got-damn traitor!”
[02:59.25]So, I reckon it's a good time
[03:01.51]To remember “Black Like Me”
[03:03.94]Written by a good man
[03:05.83]Who believed in equality
[03:08.08]Believed it's wrong to judge another
[03:13.58]By the color of their skin –
[03:36.91]That good man's name was John Howard Griffin
