Song : I Wonder When Ill Get To Be Called A Man
 
												
														   When I was born into this world,
this is what happened to me

I was never
called a man, and now I'm fifty-three

I
wonder when

I wonder when

I wonder
when will I get to be called a man

Do I
have to wait till I get ninety-three?



When Uncle Sam called me, I knowed I'd be
called a real McCoy

But I got none of this,
they just called me soldier boy

I wonder
when

I wonder when

I wonder when will
I get to be called a man

Do I have to wait
till I get ninety-three?



When I got
back from overseas, that night we had a ball

Next day I met the old boss, he said "Boy get
you some overalls"

I wonder when

I
wonder when

I wonder when will I get to be
called a man

Do I have to wait till I get
ninety-three?



I've worked on the
levee camps, and axer gangs too

Black man's
a boy, don't care what he can do

I wonder
when

I wonder when

I wonder when will
I get to be called a man

Do I have to wait
till I get ninety-three?



They aid I
was uneducated, my clothes were dirty and torn

Now I've got a little education, but I'm still
a boy right on

I wonder when

I wonder
when

I wonder when will I get to be called a
man

Do I have to wait till I get
ninety-three?
