歌詞

Well, the summer day make a white man lazy Well, all I've ever known is poor Owe my skin to the country store Owns my walls, my roof, my door But he tells me I'm free But I fight the will to live Hell might take but heaven gives It's the only one so I'll forgive And I ain't the one to grieve And the summer day make a white man lazy He sits on his porch killing time I gotta work to feed my wife and baby I work so god damn hard that it's a crime Well, I went down to the polling place The white men there just laughed in my face Saying boy, this aint no nigger's race You best get on your way Sir, I believe I've got the right Said you ain't got nothing if you ain't white And I thought I said get out of sight Well, what was I to say? And the summer day make a white man lazy He sits on his porch killing time I gotta work to feed my wife and baby I work so god damn hard that it's a crime When I was 'bout the age of five Watched my daddy burned alive They cut him low and they hung him high Swayin' in the breeze The last words I heard him say Before they stole his life that day Was forgive them lord, they gone astray Now take me to my ease And the summer day make a white man lazy He sits on his porch killing time But the summer day make a nigger feel crazy Might make me do something out of line Well, I dont know but I heard tell Of a furnace below a place called hell And who would catch me if I fell? Who would pray for me? But one thing I see for sure It's hot as hell up here I know And the devil lives right down the road It's all the same to me And a summer day make a white man feel lazy He sits on his porch killing time But the summer day make a nigger feel crazy Might make me do something out of line But if you should see my wife Tell her that I wont be home tonight So dont leave on the light I got a little buisness down the road And If I'm dead by sunrise Kiss my baby girl for me It ain't life if it ain't free I've got a mighty burden to unload
