F                      Dm
I'm not afraid of the black man running
     G#                      Cm7
He's got it right he's got a better life
      F Dm G# Cm7
coming
    F                      Dm
And I don't care what the captain said
  G#                   Cm7          F Dm G# Cm7
I fold it right at the top of my head
   F                     Dm
I lost my sight and the state packs in
   G#                    Cm7
I follow my heart and it leads me right to
 F    Dm G# Cm7
Jackson

Chorus:
F            Dm
Oh Keller oh oh oh
G#            Cm7                  F Dm G# Cm7
She gave us a medal she gave us a map
F            Dm
Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh
G#           Cm7                         F Dm G# Cm7
If seeing is right, then look where you're at

I'm not afraid of Nichols 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
And 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

Chorus:
Oh, Keller, oh, oh, oh
She gave us a mirror, she gave us a map
Oh, Canner Row, oh, oh, oh
If seeing is right, then look where you're at

Andrew Jackson, all I'm asking
Show us the wheel and give us the wine
Raise the banner, Jackson hammer
Everyone goes to the capitol line
Colored preacher, nice to meet you!
The spirit is here and the spirit is fine!
Education, ask the nation
You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine
Andrew Jackson all I'm asking
Show us the wheel and give us the wine
