Uncle Sam Says

Uncle Sam Says - Josh White (喬什·懷特)

Written by：White

Well airplanes flying close to land and sea

Everybody flying but a Negro like me

Uncle Sam says

Your place is on the ground

When I fly my airplanes

Don't want no Negro round

The same thing for the Navy

When ships goes to sea

All they got is a mess boy's job for me

Uncle Sam says

Keep on your apron son

You know I ain't going to

Let you shoot my big Navy gun

Got my long government letter

It's my time to go

When I got to the Army

Found the same old Jim Crow

Uncle Sam says

Two camps for black and white

But when trouble starts

We'll all be in that same big fight

If you ask me I think democracy is fine

I mean democracy without a color line

Uncle Sam says

We'll live the American way

Let's get together and kill Jim Crow today
