You're better than them,

you been born with white skin," they ex plain
C

And the Negro's name
Is used, it is plain

the hands of them all like a tool

He's taught in his school

From the start by the rule
C
C

G
That the laws are with him

Shoot in the back
C

With his fist in a clinch
C
C

To hang and to lynch
C

To hide 'neath the hood
C

To kill with no pain

Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name

But it ain't him to blame

Carved next to his name

His epitaph plain
