Lyrics Black and White - Pete Seeger
Oh,
the
ink
is
black,
the
page
is
white
Together
we
learn
to
read
and
write
To
read
and
write
And
now
a
child
can
understand
This
is
the
law
of
all
the
land
All
the
land
With
child′s
voice:
Oh,
the
ink
is
black,
the
page
is
white
Together
we
learn
to
read
and
write
To
read
and
write
Their
robes
were
black,
their
heads
were
white
The
schoolroom
doors
were
closed
so
tight
Were
closed
up
tight
Nine
judges
all,
set
down
their
names
To
end
the
years
and
years
of
shame
Years
of
shame
With
child's
voice:
Their
robes
were
black,
their
heads
were
white
(Whistling
the
tune)
Oh,
the
slate
is
black,
the
chalk
is
white
The
words
stand
out
so
clear
and
bright
So
clear
and
bright
And
now
at
last,
we
plainly
see
The
alphabet
of
liberty
Liberty
With
child′s
voice:
Oh,
the
slate
is
black,
the
chalk
is
white
Together
we
learn
to
read
and
write
To
read
and
write
Oh,
a
child
is
black,
or
a
child
is
white
The
whole
world
looks
upon
the
sight
What
a
beautiful
sight
For
very
well,
the
whole
world
knows
That
this
is
the
way
that
freedom
grows
Freedom
grows
With
child's
voice:
Oh,
a
child
is
black,
or
a
child
is
white
(Whistling
the
tune)
Oh,
the
world
is
black,
and
the
world
is
white
It
turns
by
day
and
turns
by
night
It
turns
by
night
It
turns
so
each
and
every
one
Can
make
his
station
in
the
sun
In
the
sun
With
child's
voice:
Oh,
the
ink
is
black,
the
page
is
white
Together
we
learn
to
read
and
write
To
read
and
write
And
now
a
child
can
understand
That
this
is
the
love
of
all
the
land
All
the
land
Continued
with
child′s
voice:
Oh,
the
ink
is
black,
the
page
is
white
Together
we
learn
to
read
and
write
To
read
and
write
