Oxford town Oxford town everybodies got their heads bowed down The sun dont shine above the ground better get away from Oxford town. He went down to Oxford town guns and clubs they followed him down All because his face was brown better get away from Oxford town. Oxford town around the bend come to the door but he couldn't get in All because of the colour of his skin what'd ya think about that my friend? Me and my girl and my girl's son we got met by a tear gas bomb Dont even know why we come we're going back where we come from. Oxford town in the afternoon everybodies singing a soft tune Two men died under the mississippi moon somebody better investigate soon.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un climat de tension raciale et de peur dans une ville américaine, où les gens se retrouvent dépourvus d'espoir et où la violence est palpable. Un homme, à la peau foncée, se heurte à des obstacles simplement à cause de sa couleur, illustrant les injustices du racisme. Un groupe de personnes, dont le narrateur et sa compagne, subit même les effets du gaz lacrymogène, mettant en lumière une détresse quotidienne et un désir de retourner à des lieux plus sûrs. Le récit se termine sur une note d'angoisse, soulignant la nécessité d'enquêter sur des événements tragiques survenus dans cette atmosphère conflictuelle.
