Ring, ring, Ive got to sing
D      G     A           D
Ring, ring Ive got to sing

They call me a hounddog, they call 
me a swine
Its all because of my colour for 
their war tho I m fine
They’re talking ‘bout freedom of 
religion and race
But if your a negro, they slap you 
in the face.

So whats the use fighting for that 
sacred democracy
When Ku-klux-klan murderers are 
going scott free
But I am still happy so dont cry my 
babe
Together we ll strife for being free
 people some day.
