We all got to help each other if we're gonna get by
We all got to help each other if we're gonna get bySee the child out on the street
Ragged clothes and just bare feet
We got to help him if we canYou see his momma, she's all alone
Can't get by cause her daddy's gone
We got to help her if we canWe all got to help each other if we're gonna get by
We all got to help each other if we're gonna get bySee the man walking down the road
Burden down with a heavy load
We got to help him if we canLook so tired and he's all alone
Got no place he can call his home
We got to help him if we canWe all got to help each other if we're gonna get by
We all got to help each other if we're gonna get bySee the women, she's dressed in black
Son went to war but he didn't come back
We got to help her if we canThey send him off to war and they send him to die
Said he had to go but they wouldn't say why
We got to help him if we canWe all got to help each other if we're gonna get by
We all got to help each other if we're gonna get byWe got to help each other if we're gonna get by
We got to help each other if we're gonna get by
We got to help each other if we're gonna get by
