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 !
The ink is black
the page is white
together we learn to read and write
to read and write.
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 !
The slate is black
the chalk is white
the words stand out so clear and bright
A child is black
a child is white
the whole world looks upon the sight
a beautiful sight.
for very well the whole world knows
this is the way that freedom grows
freedom grows !
A child is black
a child is white
the whole world looks upon the sight
a beautiful sight.
The world is black
the world is white
it turns by day and then by night
it turns by night.
It turns so each and ev'ryone
can take his station in the sun
in the sun !
The world is black
the world is white
it turns by day and then by night
it turns by night.
Their robes were black
their heads were white
the school-house 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.
Their robes were black
their heads were white
the school-house doors were closed so tight
were closed up tight.
