Well, I've got to sing

They call me a hounddog
They call me a liar
It's all 'cause of my colour
They want me to hide

chorus
De dam dadda de day …….

They're talking about freedom
Of religion and race
But if you are a negro
They slap you in the face

chorus

So what are you fighting for
They send 'm off to sea
Well, I couldn't stand more words
I'm gonna stop free

chorus + strofe muzikaal

Well, I'm still happy
So don't cry my babe
Together we'll just try for
Being free people some day

chorus
De dam dadda de day …….
