This little song I'm singin' to ya
|
You know that it's true
|
If you are black and have to work for a livin'
|
This is what they say to you
|
|
They say, well if you are white, you alright
|
And if you are brown, stick around
|
But as you are black
|
Oh brother, get back, get back, get back
|
|
I went down to the unemployment office
|
Got my number got in line
|
They were calling everybody's number
|
But they never did call mine
|
|
Say, if you were white, you alright
|
And if you are brown, stick around
|
But as you are black
|
Oh brother, get back, get back, get back
|
|
Me and a man were workin' side by side
|
This is what it meant
|
They were payin' him a dollar an hour
|
They were payin' me 50 cents
|
|
Say, if you are white, you alright
|
And if you are brown, stick around
|
But as you are black
|
Oh brother, get back, get back, get back
|
|
I went down to the unemployment office
|
Got my number and I got in line
|
They were calling everybody's number
|
But they never did call mine
|
|
Say, if you were white, you alright
|
And if you are brown, stick around
|
But as you are black
|
Oh brother, get back, get back, get back
|
|
Say, if you were white, you alright
|
And if you are brown, stick around
|
But as you are black
|
Oh brother, get back, get back, get back
|
