OXFORD IS A LEGEND

OXFORD is a legend

Where battlements were placed

One flaming night

And they fought the civil war all over again

With a rebel yell, and rebel flag, and scholars yelling “nigger,”

A Confederate general,

And the Union army;

Where innocent bystanders

Were killed.

OXFORD is a legend

Only a state of mind

And a place in Yoknapatawpha

Too bad the old man from Jefferson County

Died before he saw the fighting in his streets

Before he had to bear arms for Mississippi

And shoot the Negroes in the streets.
