Appeal to the governor of louisiana

You may get an answer the process is slow

Federal government too much to help him

It's been nearly five years

And they won't let him go

[Chorus]

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Testify under pressure, a racist jury

Government lawyers its all for show

With rows of white faces

False accusations

He's framed up for murder

They won't let him go

[Chorus]

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Police gun was planted

No matching bullets

No prints on the handle, no proof to show

But tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

They show him no mercy

They won't let him go

[Chorus]

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Appeal to the governor of louisiana

You may get an answer the process is slow

Federal government too much to help him

It's been nearly five years

And they won't let him go

[Chorus]

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so

Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so

What right do we have to say it's not so
