Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brown Baby, Brown Baby As you grow up, I want you to drink from the plenty cup I want you to stand up tall and proud And I want you to speak up clear and loud Brown Baby, Brown Baby, Brown Baby [Verse 2] As years go by I want you to go with your head up high I want you to live by the justice code And I want you to walk down freedom's road You little Brown Baby [Bridge] So, lie away, lie away sleeping Lie away sleep, lie away sleeping Lie away safe in my arms 'Til your daddy and your mama protect you And keep you safe from harm Brown Baby [Verse 3] It makes me glad you're gonna have things that I never had When out of all men's heart all hate is hurled Sweetie, you're gonna live in a better world Brown Baby, Brown Baby, Brown Baby
