2023 Broadway revival
Parade the Musical - Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? Lyrics

WATSON:
Will you walk with your head held high?
Or move aside when they're passin' you by?
Will you run when the fires are fanned?
And where will you stand when the flood comes?

Will you ride by the side of God
Or will you hide in the soil and the sod?
Will you fight for the soul of your land?
Well, where will you stand when the flood comes?
Where will you stand when the flood comes?

WATSON & ENSEMBLE
Will you beg for the Jew's reward
Or walk with us at the side of the Lord?
Put your soul in the Devil's hand?
Well, where will you stand when the flood comes?

WATSON:
Where will you stand?
Where will you stand?

WATSON & ENSEMBLE
Where will you stand?

DORSEY
With you, Mr. Watson.
I'll be proud to stand with you.

WATSON
God bless the next Governor of Georgia!

DORSEY:
Yes, I see through the fog and dust,
So let the mob do whatever they must.
Slaton jumps at the Jew's command

DORSEY & WATSON:
Well, where will you stand when the flood comes?
Where will you stand?

ALL:
Where will you stand?
See them laugh when an Angel dies!
See them tell all their Jew-loving lies!
But they'll run on the Judgement Day!
Someone's gonna pay when the flood comes!
See the blood as a city grieves!
See the stain that the Jew-money leaves!
Traitors won't keep the mobs at bay!
Someone's gonna pay when the flood comes!

MRS. PHAGAN:
Mary, Mary, the angel child
My child:

WATSON:
Mary, Mary the angel child
Still your name and your soul are defiled.
Thank God you can't hear the things they say
But someone's gonna pay!

DORSEY & WATSON:
Someone's gonna pay!

ALL:
Someone's gonna pay!
Georgia, home of the strong and sure,
Fight like hell for the land of the pure!
Teach the traitor to run away!
Georgia, home of the strong and sure,
Fight like hell for the land of the pure!
Teach the traitor to run away!
Georgia, home of the strong and sure,
Fight like hell for the land of the pure!
Teach the traitor to run away!
Someone's gotta pay!
Someone's gotta pay when the flood comes!
