Simon, Paul - Adios Hermanos Lyrics
[SAL]
It was the morning of October 6th, 1960
1 was wearing my brown suit
Preparing to leave the house of D.
Shook some hands then acfios Brooklyn amigos
Some even said that my judge-
Judge Gerald Culkin-
Wouldn't play it by the book
Maybe let us off the hook
Rut, WOH-OO-WOH, I knew better.
[SAL & SALVADOR]
Afraid to ieave the projects
To cross into another neighborhood
The blancos and the nigger gangs
Well, they'd kill you if they could.
[AUREA & WOMEN]
Angel of Mercy, people are suffering
All over the world
Spanish children are taught on their knees
to believe
Angel of Mercy, people are suffering
All over the island tonight,
Mothers weep
[SAL & AUREA]
Sisters grieve.
[SAL]
Well, I entered the courtroom, state of New York
County of New York, Just some spic
They scrubbed off the sidewalk
Guilty by my dress
Guilty in the press
Let The Capeman burn for the murder
Well the "Spanish boys" had their day in court
And now it was time for some fuckin' law and order
The electric chair
For the greasy pair
Said the judge to the court reporter
[SAL & SALVADOR]
Afraid to leave the projects
To cross into another neighborhood
[SALVADOR]
The newspapers and the T.V. crews
Well, they'd kill you if they could
[AUREA & WOMEN]
Angel of Mercy, people are suffering
Ail over the world
A Spanish boy could be killed every night of
the week
[SAL]
But just let some white boy die
And the world goes crazy for blood-Latin blood.
I don't lie when I speak.
[SAL & SALVADOR]
Well they shackled my hands
[SAL]
A heavy belt around my waist to restrain me
[SAL & SALVADOR]
And they shackled my legs
[SAL]
Hernandez, the "Umbrella Man," chained beside me
Then we rode that Black Maria
Through the streets of Spanish Harlem
Calling old friends on the corners
[SAL & AUREA]
Just to lay our prayers upon them
[SAL]
Crying
Adios Hermanos. Adios
[SAL & SALVADOR]
Adios Hermanos, Adios
