"A friend of mine telephoned me, about three weeks ago it was. The day after we read in our newspapers up here what was going on in Birmingham with the dogs. Pete, you have to see it to believe it. They have a little dance down there, I don't even know the name - I've found since it's called The Wobble - but, he say's, they do a song with it. They start with a twist, then a step back, the a hesitation somewhere but they all sing:"

I ain't scared of your jail
'Cause I want my freedom
I want my freedom
I want my freedom
I ain't scared of your jail
'Cause I want my freedom
I want my freedom now

"He says you have to see it though to see how it works. There's Reverend king, he's giving them a lecture in Church he say's now this is to be a silent demonstration today. No songs, no slogans and if any obscenities are shouted to you from the sidelines you don't reply to them. Keep right along the line of march, until you're arrested, then the singing can begin. So they all file out of church just as solomn as deacons and as aquiet as mice down the street. A couple of hundred of them maybe. Along comes a policeman he says your all under arrest:"

I ain't scared of your jail
'Cause I want my freedom
I want my freedom
I want my freedom
I ain't scared of your jail
'Cause I want my freedom
I want my freedom now.
