george mann - my name is george 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
