Текст (слова) песни: Bobby Bare - What Color Is a Man
(Marge Barton)
One day a little boy climbed up on his daddy`s knee With picture and crayons in his hand He said, "When I grow up this is a man I want to be. Daddy, what color is a man?"
"When I`m a man I want to be happy I want to be strong and free I want to be brave like a soldier What crayon should I use to color me."
--- Instrumental ---
If you color him blue son he may not be a happy man If you color him red son someone may steal his land If you color him green or yellow he may be jealous and cowardly If you color him black son he may never be free.
He told him, "Son put your crayons away And try your best to understand Man`s never made of any color my boy Color never made any man, any man..."
