Intro : I'd sing more about more of this land But all God's children ain't free I'd open up ev'ry door I can Cause all God's children ain't free I met a beaten broken man He shovels dirt but got no land And he held out his hand to me All God's children ain't free I'd sing along to a silly song But all God's children ain't free I'm gonna sing a blues for the man they done wrong Cause all God's children ain't free Mister how 'bout the man you condem to die By takin'ev'rything that he's livin'by And reject him from society All God's children ain't free No, reject him from society All God's children ain't free Instrumental : I'd be happy walkin'any street But all God's children ain't free I'd have a smile for all I meet But all God's children ain't free I'd whistle down the road but I wouldn't feel right I'd hear somebody cryin'out at night From a sharecropper's shack or penitentiary All God's children ain't free From a sharecropper's shack or penitentiary All God's children ain't free
