Текст песни «Kate Smith - That's Why Darkies Were Born»

Someone had to pick the cotton Someone,
had to pick the corn Someone,
had to slave and be able to sing That's,
why darkies were born Someone;

had to laugh at trouble Though,
he was tired and worn Had,
to be contented with any old thing That's,
why darkies were born Sing;

sing, sing, when you're weary and Sing
when you're blue Sing,
sing, that's, what you taught All
the white folks to do Someone;

had to fight the Devil Shout,
about Gabriel's Horn Someone,
had to stoke the train That
would bring God's children to green pastures That's,
why darkies were born
