《That’s Why Darkies Were Born》歌词

[00:00:01] That's Why Darkies Were Born - Paul Robeson (罗伯逊)/Helen Forrest

[00:00:59] Someone had to pick the cotton

[00:01:04] Someone had to pick the corn

[00:01:10] Someone had to slave and be able to sing

[00:01:16] That's why darkies were born;

[00:01:22] Someone had to laugh at trouble

[00:01:28] Though he was tired and worn

[00:01:33] Had to be contented with any old thing

[00:01:40] That's why darkies were born;

[00:01:46] Sing sing sing when you're weary and

[00:01:50] Sing when you're blue

[00:01:52] Sing sing that's what you taught

[00:01:56] All the white folks to do;

[00:01:59] Someone had to fight the Devil

[00:02:04] Shout about Gabriel's Horn

[00:02:09] Someone had to stoke the train

[00:02:13] That would bring God's children to green pastures

[00:02:21] That's why darkies were born.
