Текст песни Don't You Weep - Max Romeo

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep now)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep

The wise man built his house upon the rock
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep

You run to the rock to hide yourself
The rock lookin' hidin' place for itself
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep

Daniel was thrown in the lions' den
Jonah was caught in the belly of a whale
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep...
