Candace Corrigan - A Vote of Her Own: The Musical

What About the Tennessee Oath?

There's a rumor going 'round
In the papers, town to town
That women want the vote
Now the men say there's no way
To change the Constitution today
We must be true to our Tennessee Oath
If their words might be believed
Many men would be relieved
They wouldn't have to make a choice
Couldn't grant women a voice
They could hide behind the oath
And refuse to take a vote
They're misguided
Or they're stupid
Maybe both
Anyone who knows the truth
Knows its just a big excuse
Just a way to delay
Just a ploy to get their way
The attorney General says "Don't fear"
There's no legal problem here
The amendment process can proceed
The Attorney General says "Don't fear"
There's no legal problem here
The amendment process can proceed
The amendment process can proceed
And women will succeed
