Verse 1
Bernice (G major) Regan and I thought we would
kind of surprise you
with a couple extra people tonight
on the program.
Some of the best music
that I know I've heard
in the last year
was not made on any stage
or on any phonograph record,
but down in a very muddy little village
called Resurrection City in Washington,
D .C. and the song fests there held every evening
under the leadership of Reverend
Frederick Douglass
Kirkpatrick from Louisiana
an (E flat major) d Jimmy (G major) Collier from Chicago
and here they are now we are
down in (E minor) Washington
feel (C major) ing mighty sad (G major) thinking about
an income that (C major) we never had. (G major)
(A flat major) Every (C major) body's got a right to
live. (G major) (A flat major)
(G major) Everybody's got a right to live. (D major)
An (G major) d before this campaign failed,
we'd (C major) all go down in jail.
(G major) Every (C major) body's got a right to (G major) live.
Black man picked the cotton
a (C major) long time ago. (G major)
He has been a victim
since I (C major) brought him to the show.
(G major) Black man dug the ditches,
(C major) hewn down the pine,
(G major) gave his trumpet to Jesus,
(C major) kept on towing the (G major) line.
(C major) Everybody's got a right to live. (G major)
Everybody's got a right to live.
(D major) And (G major) before this campaign fails,
we'll (C major) all go down in jail. (G major)
(C major) Everybody's got a right to live. (G major) (E minor)
(G major) Black men dug the pipelines
both (C major) night and day.
(G major) Black men did the work
while the (C major) white men got the (G major) pay.
Now look here, Con (E minor) gress,
this (C major) is a brand new (G major) day.
No more full -time work
and (C major) no more part -time (G major) pay.
(C major) Everybody's got a right to live. (G major)
Everybody's got a right to live. (D major)
An (G major) d before this campaign fails,
we'll (C major) all go down in jail. (G major)
(C major) Everybody's got a right to live. (G major)
We want our (C major) share of silver.
(G major) We (C major) want our share of gold.
Won't (G major) I share a justice,
(C major) cure our dying soul?
(G major) Black man picked the cot (E minor) ton
a (C major) long time ago
He (G major) has been the vic (C major) tim
since they brought him to the show (G major)
(C major) Everybody's got a
right to (G major) live
Everybody's got a right to live
(D major) And (C major) before this (G major) campaign fails,
(C major) we all go down in jail
Every (G major) body's (C major) got a right to live.
(G major)
