1
Well, the summer day make a white man lazy
2
Well, all I've ever known is poor
3
Owe my skin to the country store
4
Throw my walls, my roof, my door
5
But he tells me I'm free
6
But I fight the will to live
7
Hell might take but heaven gives
8
It's the only one so I'll forgive
9
And Im not the one to grieve
10
And the summer day make a white man lazy
11
He sits on his porch killing time
12
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby
13
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime
14
Well, I went down to the polling place
15
The white men there just laughed in my face
16
Saying boy, this aint no nigger's race
17
You best get on your way
18
Sir, I believe I've got the right
19
Said you aint got nothing if you aint white
20
And I thought I said get out of site
21
Well, what was I to say?
22
And the summer day make a white man lazy
23
He sits on his porch killing time
24
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby
25
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime
26
When I was 'bout the age of five
27
Watched my daddy burned alive
28
They cut him low and they hung him high
29
Swayin' in the breeze
30
The last words I heard him say
31
Before they stole his life that day
32
Was forgive them lord, they gone astray
33
Now take me to my knees
34
And the summer day make a white man lazy
35
He sits on his porch killing time
36
But the summer day make a nigger feel crazy
37
Might make me do something out of line
38
Well, I dont know but I heard tell
39
Of a fungus below a place called hell
40
And who would catch me if I fell?
41
Who would pray for me?
42
But one thing I see for sure
43
It's hot as hell up here I know
44
And the devil lives right down the road
45
It's all the same to me
46
And a summer day make a white man feel lazy
47
He sits on his porch killing time
48
But the summer day make a nigger feel crazy
49
Might make me do something out of line
50
But if you should see my wife
51
Tell her that I wont be home tonight
52
So dont leave on the light
53
I got a little buisness down the road
54
And If I'm dead by sunrise
55
Kiss my baby girl for me
56
It aint life if it aint free
57
I've got a mighty burden to unload
