| When I was just a little thing |
| I almost learned from Cousin Nick |
| Ol' Massah found out, sure enough |
| And poor old Nick, he got strung up |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Before it goes away |
| The year was 1863 |
| The paper said that I was free |
| But no one read it to my ears |
| And so I slaved for two more years |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Before it goes away |
| A teacher came from Ohio |
| To learn us what we need to know |
| Before she told us what was what |
| She up and died of Whooping Cough |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Before it goes away |
| I heard about a school was free |
| Way out east in Tennessee |
| Before I got to go to town |
| The damned old reds had burned it down |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Before it goes away |
| So now that I am old and gray |
| Listen close to what I say |
| The white folks, they will write the show |
| If you can’t read, you’ll never know |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Before it goes away |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Better git yer learnin' |
| Before it goes away |
