Brown Baby Brown Baby
  As you grow up I want you to drink
  from the plenty cup
  I want you to stand up tall and proud
  And I want you to speak up clear and loud
  Brown Baby Brown Baby Brown Baby
  
  As years go by I want you
  to go with your head up high
  I want you to live by the justice code
  And I want you to walk down freedom's road
  You little Brown Baby
  
  So lie away lie away spleeping lie away singing
  Lie away sleeping lie away safe in my arms
  Till your daddy and you mama protect you
  and keep you safe from harm
  Brown Baby
  
  It makes me glad you gonna have things
  that I never had
  When out of men's heart all hate is hurled
  Sweetie you gonna live in a better world
  Brown Baby Brown Baby Brown Baby
