Music & Lyrics: UB40 Album: Signing off (1980) [Intro] [Verse 1] Appeal to the governor of Louisiana You may get an answer the process is slow Federal court won too much to open He’s been there for five years and they won’t let him go [Chorus] Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so [Bridge] [Verse 2] Testify under pressure a racist jury Government lawyers it’s all for sure Rows of white faces false accusations He’s framed up for murder they won’t let him go [Chorus] Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so [Bridge] [Verse 3] His gun was planted no matching bullets No points on the handle no proof to show But Tyler is guilty the white judges said so They show him no mercy they won’t let him go [Chorus] Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so [Bridge] [Verse 4] Appeal to the governor of Louisiana You may get an answer the process is slow Federal court won too much to open He’s been there for five years and they won’t let him go [Chorus] Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so [Chorus] Tyler is guilty the white judges said so They show him no mercy they won’t let him go Tyler is guilty the white judges said so They show him no mercy they won’t let him go [Solo] x2 [Bass Part] x11 [Chorus] Tyler is guilty white judges said so What right do we got to say it’s not so Tyler is guilty white judges said so They show him no mercy they won’t let him go [Outro]
