A photo of the current Supreme Court in my social media feed, with the right wingnuts sporting clan hoods over their judicial robes. caught my attention, and the old spiritual popped into my head.
G I got a robe, you got a robe, all God’s chillum got a robe
G7 When I gets to G7/B heaven gonna C take off my C#o robe and goG naked all D over God’s G heaven
D Heaven, G heaven
G Everybody G7/B talkin bout C heaven aint C#o goin there,
G naked all D over God’s G heaven
Klu had a robe, Klux had a robe, all God’s Klansmen had a robe
When they was a hatin’ they’d put on they robe
and go lynchin all over God’s heaven
Heaven, heaven
Anybody lynchin on earth ain’t gonna be lynchin up there in God’s heaven
I got no gun, you got a gun, Maybe everybody need a gun
Anybody shootin’ on earth ain’t goin there shootin’ all over God’s heaven
Heaven, Heaven’
Everybody shootin on earth aint goin there shootin up all o’ God’s heaven

Clarence got a robe, Sam and Amy got a robe,
Neil, Brett and Johnny all got robes
When they be judgin’ they be puttin’ on they robes
and they crap all over God’s heaven
Heaven, heaven
Judges crappin on earth ain’t goin there, bigots don’t make it to heaven
Repeat v1
Sam got a robe, Clarence got a robe, all them judges they got robes
When they be judgin they put on they robes and crap all over God’s heaven.
