Born Dead |
| Lord why was I born in Mississippi, |
| when it’s so hard to get ahead |
| Why was I born in Mississippi, |
| when it’s so hard to get ahead |
| Every black child born in Mississippi |
| you know the poor child is born dead |
| When he came into the world |
| the doctor spank him, the black baby cry |
| When he came into the world |
| the doctor spank him, the black baby cry |
| Everybody thought he had a life |
| and that’s why the black baby died |
| He will never speak his language |
| the poor baby will never speak his mind |
| Lord he will never speak his language |
| the poor baby will never speak his mind |
| The poor child will never know his mind |
| why in the world he’s so poor |
| Lord why was I born in Mississippi |
| when it’s so hard to get ahead |
| Lord why was I born in Mississippi |
| when it’s so hard to get ahead |
| Every black child born in Mississippi |
| you know the poor child was born dead |
