Peetie Wheatstraw - The Good Lawd's Children lyrics

Artist: Peetie Wheatstraw

album: Peetie Wheatstraw Vol. 7 1940-1941


They say we are the Lord's children, I don't say that ain't true
They say we are the Lord's children, I don't say that ain't true
But if we all the same like each other,
Ooh-well-well, why do they treat me like they do?
What's wrong with the Lord's children? I don't understand
What's wrong with the Lord's children? I don't understand
Some men got no use for women
Ooh well well, some women got no use for man
I wanna live on children, soon I would just like to see
I wanna live on children, I said I would just like to see
What will become of us
Ooh-well-well, by nineteen and fifty-three
Some of the good Lord's children, some of them ain't no good
Some of the good Lord's children, some of them ain't no good
Some of them are the devil
Ooh-well-well, and wouldn't help you if they could
Some of the good Lord's children, is about to kneel and pray
Some of the Lord's children, needs about to kneel and pray
You serve the devil in the night
Ooh-well-well, and serve the Lord in the day
