(do-do-do) |
|
Some people think we don't have the right |
|
To say it's my country |
|
Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight |
|
Than say it's my country |
|
I've paid three hundred years or more |
|
Of slave driving, sweat, and welts on my back |
|
This is my country |
|
(do-do-do) |
|
Too many have died in protecting my pride |
|
For me to go second class |
|
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know |
|
That you must face us at last |
|
And I know you will give consideration |
|
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation |
|
This is my country |
|
(do-do-do) |
|
And I know you will give consideration |
|
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation |
|
This is my country |
|
