Brown Baby Lyrics & Chords By Diana Ross

Brown baby
Brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty cup
I want you to stand up
Tall and proud
I want you to speak up
Speak up clear and cloud

Brown baby
Brown baby
As years roll by
I want you to walk
Walk with your head held high
I want you to live by
Live by the justice code
I want you to walk down
Walk down that freedom road

Brown baby
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away here in my arms
While your mommy and your daddy protect you
While your mommy and your daddy protect you
And keep you save from harm

Brown baby
Brown baby
My baby, it makes me so glad
That you will have things
I have never had
When out of men's hearts
All the hate is hurled
You're gonna live
You're gonna live in a better world

Brown baby
My brown baby
My sweet thing
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away in mommy's arms
