| They say we are the Lord’s children
|
| I don’t say that ain’t true
|
| They say we are the Lord’s children
|
| I don’t say that ain’t true
|
| But if we all the same like each other
|
| Ooo-well'well, why do they treat me like they do?
|
| What’s wrong with the Lord’s children?
|
| I don’t understand
|
| What’s wrong with the Lord’s children?
|
| I don’t understand
|
| Some men got no use for woman
|
| Ooo-well-well, some women got no use for man
|
| I wanna live on children
|
| Soon I would just like to see
|
| I wanna live on children
|
| I said I would just like to see
|
| What will become of us Ooo-well-well, by nineteen and fifty-three
|
| Some of the good Lord’s children
|
| Some of them ain’t no good
|
| Some of the good Lord’s children
|
| Some of them ain’t no good
|
| Some of them are the devil
|
| Ooo-well-well, and wouldn’t help you if they could
|
| Some of the good Lord’s children
|
| Is about to need some prayer
|
| Some of the Lord’s children
|
| Needs about to kneel and pray
|
| You serve the devil in the night
|
| Hoo-well-well, and serve the Lord in the day. |
