Children One And All - Mary Travers[00:00:00]

Some of us live in big white houses[00:00:13]

Some of us live in small[00:00:16]

Some of our names are written on blackboards[00:00:20]

Some are written on walls[00:00:23]

Some of our daddies work in factories[00:00:26]

Some of them stand in line[00:00:29]

Some of our daddies buy us marbles[00:00:32]

Some of them just buy wine[00:00:35]

But at night you can't tell sunday suits[00:00:38]

From tattered overalls[00:00:42]

Then we're only children[00:00:45]

Children one and all[00:00:48]

Some of us take our lunch in boxes[00:00:57]

Some in paper sacks[00:01:00]

Some of us kids join in the laughter[00:01:03]

Some hear it at our backs[00:01:06]

Some of our mothers sew fine linen[00:01:09]

Some can't sew a stitch[00:01:12]

Some of our mothers dress up poorly[00:01:16]

Some of them dress up rich[00:01:19]

But at night you can't tell party dresses[00:01:22]

From hand me downs too small[00:01:25]

Then we're only children[00:01:29]

Children one and all[00:01:32]

Some of us learn our lessons poorly[00:01:41]

Some of us learn them well[00:01:43]

Some of us find an earthly heaven[00:01:46]

Some of us live in hell[00:01:49]

Some of us go right on a preaching[00:01:52]

Without making too much sense[00:01:55]

Some of us hind behind a wall[00:01:58]

Some behind a fence[00:02:01]

But at night you can't tell picket fences[00:02:04]

From bricks that tower tall[00:02:07]

Then we're only children[00:02:10]

Children one and all[00:02:14]

Some of us grow up tall and handsome[00:02:23]

Some of us grow up plain[00:02:26]

Some of us own the world in ransom[00:02:29]

Some of us just our name[00:02:32]

Some of our people die in misery[00:02:35]

Some of them die in peace[00:02:37]

Some of our people die for nothing[00:02:41]

But dying doesn't cease[00:02:44]

And at night you can't tell fancy coffins[00:02:46]

From boxes in the hall[00:02:49]

Then we're only children[00:02:53]

Children one and all[00:02:57]

Children[00:03:04]
