You am what you am
When you am it
This whole world is all we've got
So don't you damn it
You know all God's children
Ain't got shoes
Some folks got
Nothin' but the blues
So of them that's got
Help their brothers get
We could make this old world
A better place yet
'Cause you am what you am
When you am it
Life's an open door
So don't you slam it
All God's children
Ain't got shoes
Some folks got
Nothin' but the blues
Take birds of a feather
Like to live up in the same tree
But it really don't matter whether
I be you or you be me
When you am it
This whole world is all we've got
So don't you damn it
You know all God's children
Ain't got shoes
Some folks got
Nothin' but the blues
So of them that's got
Help their brothers get
We could make this old world
A better place yet
'Cause you am what you am
When you am it
Life's an open door
So don't you slam it
All God's children
Ain't got shoes
Some folks got
Nothin' but the blues
Take birds of a feather
Like to live up in the same tree
But it really don't matter whether
I be you or you be me
