Brown Baby (live)

Brown Baby - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

Brown baby brown baby

As you grow up I want you to drink from the plenty cup

I want you to stand up tall and proud

And I want you to speak up clear and loud

Brown baby brown baby

As years go by I want you to

Go with your head up high

I want you to live by the justice code

And I want you to walk down freedoms road

You little brown baby

So lie away lie away spleeping lie away singing

Lie away sleeping lie away safe in my arms

Till your daddy and you mama protect you

And keep you safe from harm

Brown baby

It makes me glad you gonna

Have things that I never had

When out of mens heart all hate is hurled

Sweetie you gonna live in a better world
