Dr. King Remembered Song

(To the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat)


Martin Luther King

Dreamed of equal rights.

He wanted people to be fair

And taught us not to hate.

Dr. King was smart.

He was a minister.

He protested things not right

And fought non-violently.

King led the bus boycott

In Montgomery.

Blacks didn’t ride the bus all year

Until the law was changed.

Martin Luther King

Was killed by men that hate.

His dream lives on and we must work

To make his dream come true.

Every good thing sought

Starts with a good dream.

We should do what we can

For the common good.
