Stranger Than Today
Tallahassee’s honorary
Forgetful servant
Fades away

Pulling up
Behind the half-line
Stranger than today

Changing shoes
Before the warning
Shouldn’t be surprised

Running loose
Between the blue sky
Couldn’t say we tried

Mister Marion
Walter Jacobs
Never said goodbye

Soon after
The altercation
They buried him alive
On his horse
At 54th Street
Stranger than today
Au revoir
To Marksville Parish
Never shall he see
