Brothers, sisters, when this world began
There was work to be done
And it seemed that someone
Left it to the colored man
Brothers, sisters, what must be, must be
Though the balance is wrong
Still your faith must be strong
Accept your destiny
Brothers, listen to me...
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 them white folks to do
There was work to be done
And it seemed that someone
Left it to the colored man
Brothers, sisters, what must be, must be
Though the balance is wrong
Still your faith must be strong
Accept your destiny
Brothers, listen to me...
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 them white folks to do
