Verse: 
"I'm not afraid..." 
"Oh Keller, oh..." 
D  Bm  F  Am7 
 
D                            Bm 
I'm not afraid of the black man running 
F                            Am7 
He's got it right he's got a better life coming  
D                        Bm 
I don't care what the captain said  
        F                     Am7 
I fold it right at the top of my head  
D                             Bm 
I lost my sight and the state packs in  
  F                     Am7 
I follow my heart and it leads me right to Jackson  
 
Oh Keller oh oh oh  
She gave us a medal she gave us a map  
Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh  
If seeing is right, then look where you're at  
 
I'm not afraid of Nichol's Park  
I ride the train and I ride it after dark  
I'm not afraid to get it right  
I turn around and I give it one more try  
I said things that I meant to say  
The bandstand chairs and the Dewey Day parade  
I go out to the golden age  
The spirit is right and the spirit doesn't change  
 
Oh Keller oh oh oh  
She gave us mirror she gave us a map  
Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh  
If seeing is right then look where you're at  
 
D               Bm                 F 
Andrew Jackson, all I'm asking  
            Am7                    D  
Show us the wheel and give us the wine  
Bm           F          Am7 
   Woohoo!    Woohoo!  
Raise the banner, Jackson hammer  
Everyone goes to the capitol line  
Woohoo! woohoo!  
Colored preacher, nice to meet you!  
The spirit is here and the spirit is fine!  
Woohoo! Woohoo!  
Education, ask the nation  
 
You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine  
Woohoo! woohoo!  
Andrew Jackson all I'm asking  
Give us the wheel and give us the wine
