[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 meetin' 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 tumblin' 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"
