People must prove to the people A better day is coming But you wait for me oh yeah, yeah Alright, alright, alright, then he said
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Could you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin
People must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education With love for our nation will make a better society
Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss Than to bring about a little trust But we shall overcome our beliefs someday If you will only listen to what I have to say
How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Can you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin
I'm telling you, people must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education And love for our nation will make a better society
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers
Just out of Monday Run into a friend Down the street, down the street Where I live
Ah! Ah! Sad things begin I could feel from within From the message, from the message He had to give
'Bout a buddy of mine Running out of time Somebody past noon, shot across the room And now the man no longer lives
Too bad about him Too sad about him Don't get me wrong, the man is gone But it's a wonder he lived this long
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack But down home he was a alley cat Ah! didn't care nothing about being black Oh! Billy Jack
Can't be no fun (can't be no fun) To be shot, shot with a hand gun Body sprawled out, you without a doubt Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh
Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess Shot all up in his chest One sided duel, gun and a fool What a way to go
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack But down home he was a alley cat Ah! Didn't care nothin' 'bout being Black Ah, Oh, Billy Jack Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
This ones for you Curtis, I love you. (do do do dooooo . . .)

From nowhere through the caravan Round the campfire light Lovely woman in motion With hair as dark as night Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark That hypnotized me with love She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman
She danced around and round Guitar's melody From the fire her face was aglow How she enchanted me I'd like to hold her near And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman
All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun Hated to see her go Knowing that she'll never know That i love her That i love her
I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman
Whoever compared it to part monkey part man hit the nail on the head. it has that same kind of dark, mysterious sound. the vocals are soft and understated, somewhat reminiscent to those on if i should fall behind or pony boy. the song is sung with that nasally twang bruce has grown so fond of lately.

A little sugar, honey suckle lamb Great expression of happiness Boy, you could not miss with a dozen roses Such would astound you The joy of children laughing around you These are the makings of you It is true, the makings of you, oh
It's been a miracle for what you've done Please stay right by my side Two can be one for the righteous way to go Anyone would know I believe I thought I told you so You're second to none
Love of all mankind should reflect some sign Of the words I'm trying to recite They're close, but not quite Almost impossible to do Describing the makings of you
She may not be the best lookin' woman I ever did see Nor have the charms of the ladies Of high society
But the woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And all the love that i have belongs To the woman with soul
Now i'm just a regular fellow I don't need much I don't need a cadillac car Or diamonds and such
But the woman that i hold She's got to have soul And then i'm richer than the richest gold If the woman's got soul
I don't need a woman That's got a whole lot of class Because class in a woman Don't mean she's gonna last I need a kind of lady That when i hold she fits up tight And when she throws it on me I give in without a fight
Then i know the woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And all the love that i have belongs To the woman with soul The woman's got soul The woman's got soul The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And all the love that i have belongs To the woman with soul The woman's got soul The woman's got soul The woman's got soul
The woman's got soul The woman's got soul The woman's got soul
People get ready There's a train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord
People get ready For the train to Jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all among the loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own Have pity on those whose chances are thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready for the train a-comin' You don't need no baggage you just get on board ! All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket you just thank, you just thank the Lord
Yeah Ooh
Yeah Ooh
I'm getting ready I'm getting ready this time I'm ready this time I'm ready
