Brown Baby Brown Baby |
|
As you grow up I want you to drink from the plenty cup |
|
I want you to stand up tall and proud |
|
And I want you to speak up clear and loud |
|
Brown Baby Brown Baby Brown Baby |
|
As years go by I want you to go with your head up high |
|
I want you to live by the justice code |
|
And I want you to walk down freedom's road |
|
You little Brown Baby |
|
Lie away sleeping lie away safe in my arms |
|
Till your daddy and you mama protect you |
|
And keep you safe from harm |
|
Brown Baby |
|
It makes me glad you gonna have things that I never had |
|
When out of men's heart all hate is hurled |
|
Sweetie you gonna live in a better world |
|
Brown Baby Brown Baby Brown Baby |
