Lyrics
It s a doggone sin, you got to help them find the way
freedom for the mare and her colt
it s a doggone sin
It s a doggone sin, they got men making laws that destroy other men For, they ve made money god
how you gonna be with people like john and me
They got men making laws that destroy other men, big ship s a-sailing
ignore him if he whispers and kill him if he shouts
You got to help us find the way, it s a doggone sin, they ve made money god
you got to help us find the way
They ve made money god, that the man didn t even get to choose
You got to help us find the way, how you gonna be with people like john and me, it s a doggone sin
freedom for the mare and her colt
you got to help them find the way
Who has not grown old enough to vote, they ve got men building fences to keep other men out, freedom for the mare and her colt
They got men making laws that destroy other men, they got men making laws that destroy other men
Trying to make the best of a home, some got to moan the blues, it s a doggone sin
they ve made money god
You got to help us find the way, some got to moan the blues
Slaves all chained and bound, what you gonna do about the people who are praying to you
Slaves all chained and bound, you got to help us find the way
Freedom for the baby child, freedom for the mare and her colt Lee, heading for a brand new land that some cat said he upped and found
What you gonna do about the people who are praying to you, freedom for the mare and her colt
That the man didn t even get to choose, you got to help them find the way
