One day a friend took me aside
Dmand said, "I have to leave you.
For buying something from a friend
Em E7They say I have done wrong.
AmFor protecting the name of a man
they say I'll have to leave you.
Am Em Dm7 AmSo now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.
Am Dm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
Am Em E7If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
Am Em Dm7 Amand buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

Another friend said to her kids
I'm gonna have to leave you
AmFor selling something to the man

And although I did the best I could
Dm7I'm gonna have to leave you.
Am Em Dm7 AmSo now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.
Am Dm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.

Am Dm7There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
Am Em Dm7 Am7and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
