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. |
