Loading...

[inro]
oh black baby
oh my baby
you were born to bear a heavy load

[verse 1]
oh black baby
my sweet baby
i cried with grief when you were born
you look so weak just lyin’ there
i’m so afraid you can’t carry this load
no, i’m afraid you can’t carry this heavy load

[verse 2]
folks say there’s a new day ahead
so when you’re grown, you’ll be free
but they been saying the same old thing
to the jews for centuries
yes i know
they’ve been saying that to the jews for centuries

[verse 3]
so i’ll hold you close
just as long as i can
that’s all that i can do
’cause sweet baby
my black baby
i was once a black baby too
oh lord, i was once a small black baby just like you

- don ellis
