Ring, Ring, I've Got To Sing

Well, don't cry my baby
Don't you cry all the while
Don't cry my baby
Just give me a smile

Seen my daddy die in the war
Seen my mama a-die crying for him

Ring, ring
Well, I've got to sing
Ring, ring
Well, I've got to sing
De dam dadda de day …….

They call me a hounddog
They call me a liar
It's all 'cause of my colour
They want me to hide

They're talking about freedom
Of religion and race
But if you are a negro
They slap you in the face

So what are you fighting for
They send 'm off to sea
Well, I couldn't stand more words
I'm gonna stop free

Well, I'm still happy
So don't cry my babe
Together we'll just try for
Being free people some day

(I sure wish there was a way to contact some of these people after all these years.....we may be wasting our time!)
