They say we are the Lord’s children

I don’t say that ain’t true

They say we are the Lord’s children

I don’t say that ain’t true

But if we all the same like each other

Ooo-well'well, why do they treat me like they do?

What’s wrong with the Lord’s children?

I don’t understand

What’s wrong with the Lord’s children?

I don’t understand

Some men got no use for woman

Ooo-well-well, some women got no use for man

I wanna live on children

Soon I would just like to see

I wanna live on children

I said I would just like to see

What will become of us Ooo-well-well, by nineteen and fifty-three

Some of the good Lord’s children

Some of them ain’t no good

Some of the good Lord’s children

Some of them ain’t no good

Some of them are the devil

Ooo-well-well, and wouldn’t help you if they could

Some of the good Lord’s children

Is about to need some prayer

Some of the Lord’s children

Needs about to kneel and pray

You serve the devil in the night

Hoo-well-well, and serve the Lord in the day.
