Peter, Paul and Mary - Have You Been To Jail For Justice

[@Kirkunik1]

Paul Stucky, Peter Yarrow, Mary Travers. Saw them live in '65 -66 in Fla. Great concert. And no auto tune! No back tracks! Just two guys, a gal , a couple guitars and a bass fiddle.

This was recorded in Peter's apartment, summer of 2003, with Vermont's Counterpoint as the backup singers. The 4th member of PPM was Robert DeCormier, Counterpoint's founder and PPM's music director/orchestral arranger for many years.

A fine reminder of the trio, and great there was video of the rehearsal ... I'm wondering if there is a version of the actual performance in front of an audience. Peter, Paul and Mary always seemed at their best when performing live and reaching out to the people in front of them.

There is actually and early performance of it right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYaXdoCkfb-bepYsi=r0JESSvdxPkPAnyu at 1:06:48 Plus a few other songs that will be on their In These Times album.

Was it Cesar Chavez or Rosa Parks that day? Some say Dr. King or Ghandi set them on their way No matter who your mentors are, it's pretty plain to see That if you've been to jail for justice, you're in good company Have you been to jail for justice? I want to shake your hand 'Cause sitting in and laying down Are ways to take a stand Have you sung a song for freedom Or marched that picket line? Have you been to jail for justice? Then you're a friend of mine Hey, you law abiding citizens, come listen to this song Laws are made by people and people can be wrong Once unions were against the law, but slavery was fine Women were denied the vote while children worked the mine The more you study history, the less you can deny it A rotten law stays on the books 'til folks with guts defy it! Have you been to jail for justice? I want to shake your hand 'Cause sitting in and laying down Are ways to take a stand Have you sung a song for freedom Or marched that picket line? Have you been to jail for justice? Then you're a friend of mine Well the law is supposed to serve us, and so are the police But when the system fails it's up to us to speak our piece We must be ever vigilant for justice to prevail So get courage from your convictions, let 'em haul you off to jail! Have you been to jail for justice? I want to shake your hand 'Cause sitting in and laying down Are ways to take a stand Have you sung a song for freedom Or marched that picket line? Have you been to jail for justice? Then you're a friend of mine Have you been to jail for justice Have you been to jail for justice Have you been to jail for justice Then you're a friend of mine
