Ring, Ring, I've Got To Sing Lyrics

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

A 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 hound-dog

They call me a swine

It's all because of my colour

For their war though I'm fine

A ring a, a ring a, but I've got to sing

A ring a, a ring a, but I've got to sing

They're talkin' 'bout freedom, of religion and race

But if you're a negro they slap you in the face

A 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 to fightin' for that sacred democracy

When the Ku Klux Klan murd'rers are going scot-free

A 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

Oh ring, ring, so we've got to sing

Ring, ring, together we will sing
