Ferre Grignard - ring, ring, .... i've got to sing lyrics

Your rating:

don't cry my baby
don't cry all the while
don't cry my baby
just give me a smile
seen my daddy die in the war
seen my mamma die cryin' for

Ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing
a-ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing

they call me a hounddog
they call me a swine
it's all because of my color
for their war though I'm fine

Ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing
a-ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing
Dee dum dee dum

they're talkin' 'bout freedom
of religion and race
but if you're a negro
they slap you in the face

Ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing
a-ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing

so what's the use fightin' for
that sacred democracy
when Ku Klux Klan murd'rers
are going scot-free

Ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing
a-ring-a a-ring-a
but I've got to sing

But I'm still happy
so don't cry, my babe
together we'll strife for
bein' free people some day

Ring-a a-ring-a
So we've got to sing
a-ring-a a-ring-a
Together we'll sing

dum dah dah dee yay-ay
dee dum dah dah dee day
dee dum dah dah dee day-ay
dee dum dah dah dee yay

goedemorgen,

ik zou zo graag alleen de muziek willen, omdat ik er een andere tekst op heb gemaakt voor de verjaardag van mijn man.
is dat mogelijk

ZSoek al een tijdje naar de tekst. Begrijp hem nu veel beter. Nog steeds zeer actueel.
