Birmingham Sunday
By: Joan Baez
Album: 5
This song is about the 1963 bombing of a Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama where four young girls were killed.
Selected Lyrics:
The church it was crowded but no one could see
That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was three
Her prayers and her feelings would shame you and me
And the choir kept singing of freedom
