Union Prayer |
| I hear that prayer and praying |
| Will change this world around |
| I fold my hands I bow my head |
| I kneel down on the ground |
| I prayed and prayed by night and day |
| And then I prayed some more |
| I prayed till my tongue was dry as dust |
| And I prayed till my knees had sores |
| Will prayer change shacks to decent homes? |
| Will prayer change sickness into health? |
| Will prayer change hate to works of love? |
| Will prayer get me my right to vote? |
| Will prayer give jobs at honest pay? |
| Will prayer bring stomach full of food? |
| Will prayer make rich treat poor folks right? |
| Will prayer take out the Ku Klux Klan? |
| Will prayer cut down the hoodlum bands? |
| Will prayer stop in the lynchbug hands? |
| If all of these things my prayers can do |
| I’ll pray till I am black and blue |
| I’ll pray till I am black and blue |
| I’ll pray till I am black and blue |
| I’ll pray till I am black and blue |
| I’ll pray till I am black and blue |
| If prayer will bring us union love |
| I’ll pray and pray and pray some more |
| I’ll pray all day from door to door |
| And fall at night to pray some more |
| My prayer with a union label |
| My prayer with a union label |
| My prayer with a union label |
| My prayer with a union label |
