How long, brethren, how long,
Must my people weep and mourn?
How long, how long, brethren, how long?
So long my people been asleep
White folks plowin’ n——r’s soul down deep.
How long, how long, brethren, how long?
Too long, brethren, too long
We just barely miserin’ along
Too long, too long, brethren, too long.
White folks ain’t Jesus, he just a man,
Grabbin’ biscuit out of poor n——r’s hand.
Too long, too long, brethren, too long.
So long, brethren, so long
N——r keep a-singin’ the same old song.
So long, so long, brethren, so long.
N——r he just patch black dirt,
The raisin’ part of the white man’s earth,
So long, so long, brethren, so long.
Must my people weep and mourn?
How long, how long, brethren, how long?
So long my people been asleep
White folks plowin’ n——r’s soul down deep.
How long, how long, brethren, how long?
Too long, brethren, too long
We just barely miserin’ along
Too long, too long, brethren, too long.
White folks ain’t Jesus, he just a man,
Grabbin’ biscuit out of poor n——r’s hand.
Too long, too long, brethren, too long.
So long, brethren, so long
N——r keep a-singin’ the same old song.
So long, so long, brethren, so long.
N——r he just patch black dirt,
The raisin’ part of the white man’s earth,
So long, so long, brethren, so long.
