CORETTA

Coretta, Coretta,
Coretta, of thee I sing,
I just cant forget you, Coretta Scott King.

Coretta Scott married Martin Luther King Jr
During bad Civil Rights Days
They set up their home in Montgomery, Alabama
Even though they both knew it wasn't safe.

Coretta, Coretta,
Coretta, of thee I sing,
I just cant forget you, Coretta Scott King.

Coretta and Martin had four little children
Two little girls and two boys,
Yoki and Bunny, Dexter and Marty,
Those kids were their pride and their joy.

Coretta, Coretta,
Coretta, of thee I sing,
I just cant forget you, Coretta Scott King.

Now what kind of courage that woman must have had,
Not to take those four children and run,
When over in Selma, four little girls
Had been blown up in a church by a bomb?

Coretta, Coretta,
Coretta, of thee I sing,
I just cant forget you, Coretta Scott King.

When Martin Luther King was shot down in Memphis,
The whole world let out a cry,
Coretta told their kids though their father was gone,
His spirit would never die.

Coretta, Coretta,
Coretta, of thee I sing,
I just cant forget you, Coretta Scott King.
