my name is george - george mann lyrics

Loading...

my name is george, i’ll get that over now
just so you know, i’m not just being proud
i’ve had this face, always stood out in a crowd
but now i’m staring at this barren ground

i was given this name— i didn’t have no choice
i take the blame— i never had no voice
but i’m not ashamed— and i am not your boy
i am a man, and i’m freedom bound

but that’s not the way that you see me now in a land that’s still not free
maybe a hundred years from now we’d be neighbors you and me
later tonight when the sun goes down and you’re sitting comfortably
don’t forget that i had a name
don’t forget i was not afraid

they gather round me ’neath this old oak tree
there’s no way out*** well, none that i can see
but there’s a better world waiting somewhere for me
oh yes i am, i’m freedom bound

don’t forget that i had a name
don’t forget i was not afraid

god bless you all, and keep you safe and warm
i swear to you i never done n0body harm
but here we are in 1894
and a colored man can’t get a trial
my name is george, let’s get this over now
just so you know, i am not being proud
i’ve had this skin, always stood out in a crowd
but now i’m staring at this barren ground
i am a man, and i’m freedom bound
