Sister Rosa

[00:24.48] December 1st, 1955
[00:26.68] Our freedom movement came alive
[00:29.50] And because of Sister Rosa you know
[00:31.90] We don't ride on the back of the bus no more
[00:35.06] Sister Rosa she was tired one day
[00:37.13] After a hard day on her job
[00:39.86] When all she wanted was a well deserved rest
[00:42.82] Not a scene from an angry mob
[00:45.75] A bus driver said, "Lady, you got to get up
[00:48.15] 'Cause a white person wants that seat"
[00:50.78] But Miss Rosa said, "No, not no more
[00:53.37] I'm gonna stay right here and rest my feet"

[01:30.88] And took Sister Rosa off to jail
[01:33.55] And 14 dollars was her fine
[01:35.89] Brother Martin Luther King knew it was our time
[01:38.62] The people of Montgomery sat down to talk
[01:41.28] It was decided all God's children should walk
[01:43.63] Until segregation was brought to its knees
[01:46.48] And we obtain freedom and equality, yeah
