I had never heard this song! He's honoring a very brave man - Jim Garrison - who was investigating the death of a domestic conservative and foreign anti-war man known as JFK. Good on you, Johnny Rebel. We miss you.

Lyrics: Keep a workin' Big Jim/You'll prove it by and by/Keep a workin' Big Jim/Find out the reasons why/A few years ago in the year of '63/A president was shot and he died/And the man accused of killing him was shot to death, before he was even tried/Then the Warren Commission made up of what should be the greatest lawmen of our time/Wrapped up the case and said the assassination was the work of one warped mind/Keep a workin' Big Jim/We hope you prove they're wrong/Keep a workin' Big Jim/We're with you all day long/In shorter time than it takes to solve a simple theft case, they said they solved the crime of our time/Oswald was the man/They said he worked it all alone/No one conspired with him to plan the crime/Big Jim Garrison, a lawyer from New Orleans didn't think the case was really solved/In his investigation, he's come up with a lot/He's gonna prove somebody else was involved/Keep a workin' Big Jim/We wanna know the truth/Keep a workin' Big Jim/The nation’s watchin' you/Now wouldn't it be something if the Warren Report turns out to be just a lie/And one big man who was workin' all alone finds the answers and the reasons why/And the so-called leaders of the government who won't try to help him win the fight/Yeah, it seems they're more afraid that Jim will prove them wrong, instead of hoping Big Jim's right/Keep a workin' Big Jim/We wanna know the truth/Keep a workin' Big Jim/The nation's watchin' you/Keep a workin' Big Jim/The nation's watchin’ you/Keep a workin' Big Jim/We wanna know the truth/Keep a workin' Big Jim/We wanna know the truth/Keep a workin' Big Jim/The nation's watchin' you/Keep a workin’ Big Jim

[@utahraptor4729874]

I think it's funny how he out of all people didn't believe in the official narrative of the JFK assassination.

[@samuelharang5742]

If he was living in 1910 when everyone believed in vampires, out of all people he probably wouldn't.

[@ottoacid1800]

A lot of segregationists were Democrats in the early 60s. He probably voted for Kennedy over Nixon. LBJ ended segration.

[@medicalmisinformation]

People didn't believe in vampires any more in 1910 than they do today. You're thinking 1510.
