He was born right after slavery died, right after reconstruction died,
Am F G
he was born right after none of that stuff really died.
C G C G
It never died at all
D G
He would walk down the streets wearing gold and diamonds,
D G
always hold his head up high.
C G Am
And he never had to say yes sir or no sir to the white folks as they passed

him by,
C G C G
or as he passed them by.

So the great white hope was pulled out of retirement

They couldn't stand to see a black man winning in their ring.
