A hostile Climate for 'Illegal Immigrants'

Windrush has shown us all that insitutional racism is live and kicking nowhere more so than in May's Tory Government. Time, then, to re-work Ole Man River. Paul Robeson would understand and, I hope, approve.

Ole Ma'am May

Ole Ma'am May

That Ole Ma'am May

She gotta do somethin'

But don't do nothin'

She jes keeps rollin'

She keeps on rollin' along

In the NHS, we'd sweat and strain

Though subsistence wages were a big pain

Turn that bed

Empty that pale

You got no documents

So you land in jail.

I gets weary

An' sick of her lyin'

They screw you while you're livin'

They'll screw you when you're dyin'

But ole Ma'am May

She jes keeps rollin' along

She made this mess

Looks like she's forgotten

The core of an apple

That's now wholly rotten

But ole Ma'am May

She keeps on rollin'

She just keeps rollin' along

Ole Ma'am May

That Ole Ma'am May

She gotta do somethin'

But don't do nothin'

She jes keeps rollin'

She keeps on rollin' along
