Brown Earth

Morning

Came to the windows in the street

Selling red watermelon, 5 cents a piece.

Merry boat on the river

Freedom

Fresh drams to deliver

Freedom

Over and over and over

I call out your name.

God standing on the brown earth

"Get up" want a hollers

Shooflies in my doorway

White dove's gonna come today

Oh what a morning

I feel so good

Oh what a morning

Of brotherhood.

Hold me by the light

Kitten run the neighborhood

Through ragamuffin boys

All the world is new

By the light of day

Give with your heart

And love will come to you

Kids come in all shapes and colours

To the cool morning dew.

Merry boat on the river

Freedom

Fresh drams to deliver

Freedom

Over and over and over

I call out your name.

God standing on the brown earth

Lovelight in the morning

Shooflies in my doorway

White dove's gonna come today.
