I´d sing more about moral of this land but all God´s children ain´t free
I´d open up every door I can cause all God´s children ain´t free
I met a beaten broken man he shovels dirt but got no land

And he held out his hand to me all God´s children ain´t free
I´d sing along too a silly song but all God´s children ain´t free
I´m gonna sing the blues for the men they done wrong
Cause all God´s children ain´t free
Mister how bout the man you condemn to die
But taking everything that he´s livin´ by
And reject him from society all God´s children ain´t free
No reject him from society all God´s children ain´t free
[ harmonica ]
I´d be happy walking any street but all God´s children ain´t free
I´d have a smile for all I meet but all God´s children ain´t free

I´d whistle down the road but I wouldn´t feel right
I´d hear somebody cryin´ out at night
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary all God´s children ain´t free
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary all God´s children ain´t free
