Appeal to the governor of Louisiana   You may get an answer the process is slow   Federal government too much to help him   It`s been nearly five years   And they won`t let him go      (Chorus)      Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so   What right do we have to say it`s not so   Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so   What right do we have to say it`s not so      Testify under pressure, a racist jury   Government lawyers its all for show   With rows of white faces   False accusations   He`s framed up for murder   They won`t let him go      (Chorus)      Police gun was planted   No matching bullets   No prints on the handle, no proof to show   But Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so   They show him no mercy   They won`t let him go      (Chorus)      Appeal to the governor of Louisiana   You may get an answer the process is slow   Federal government too much to help him   It`s been nearly five years   And they won`t let him go      (Chorus)
