1865 (96 Degrees In The Shade) [Re-Recorded]

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot
In the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes)
In the shade

Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking I and I
To meet a big fat boy
He was sent from overseas
The queen employ

Excellency, before you, I come with my representation
You know where I'm coming from
Caught me on the loose
Fighting to be free
Now you show me a noose
On the cotton tree
Entertainment for you
Martyrdom for me

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot
In the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes)
In the shade

Some may suffer and some may burn
But I know that one day
All of my children they gonna learn
As sure as the sunshine
Way up in the skies
Today I stand here a victim, yeah
Truth is I'll never die

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes)
In the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes)
In the shade

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (hear me when I say)
In the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes)
In the shade

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (hear me when I say)
In the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot
In the shade
96 degrees...
