Artist : Big Bill Broonzy 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?
