[Verse 1]
Word of the trouble spread around
One day, a man came through my town
I was in the kitchen when my pa let him in
Shook my hand, said, "Son, the Klan's your friend"

[Verse 2]
Was a meeting at Lyle Stanton's house
On the Jefferson Highway
Some they did not listen, some
Did not turn away

[Verse 3]
Said, "When the holy rain of fire comes
Tumbling from above
It'll be a Klansman
Who stands for the land he loves"
Look away, look away now

[Verse 4]
I was ten years old when my pa said, "Son
Someday you will see
When you grow to wear the robes
Like your brother and me"

[Verse 5]
"When the war between the races lives
As in a fiery dream
It'll be a Klansman
Who will wipe this country clean
This, son, is my dream"
