Mistreat - James Earl Ray Lyrics

Once upon a time there was a man
Who worked as a sniper for the Ku Klux Klan
He was as deadly as a poison sting
His bullet dropped Martin Luther King

Chorus:
James Earl Ray, James Earl Ray
You gave the White race a brand new day
James Earl Ray, James Earl Ray
It was too bad that you had to pay

He climbed to a roof top and took the aim
A squeeze to the trigger ended Luther’s game
The king of the niggers felt a blast
His face fell down and he bit the dust

29 years is a long long time
People still ask why he made the crime
Ray was a right man in the right place
James Earl Ray did it for the White race
