Sometime, long ago, we did this song as part of our English literature, Standard 8 (grade 10?)
and I read it was inpired by this photograph:
August 7th of 1930, the night Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith were hanged. Marion, Indiana.

lynching was a strange sport. i hear it still goes down (although not in a great degree) below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Very sad indeed.
