Washington Phillips - Train Your Child lyrics

(recitation) The subject of this lecture that's going to: Solomon says train the child in the way that you should go and when he gets old he will not depart from it. Lots of people in the world of course, you cannot blame them God has given them children and they don't know what to train them When you educate an untrained child that's brought up full of sin They just only got sense enough If they forge notes and go to the pen Let us train our children and try to keep down so much sin 'Cause it'll be too late to cry when you see them going to the pen Lots of those little womanish girls That thinks themselves to be grand They will stand on the corners at night Making dates with a married man Those little manish boys With a hat sitting on one strand of hair Will go marry some woman's nice little girl And ain't got nowhere to carry her Education is alright I will tell you before you start Before you educate the head Try to educate the heart
