a change is gonna come - lifford shillingford lyrics

i was born by the river
in a little tent
oh, and just like

the river i’ve been running
ever since, it’s been a long
a long time come near
but i know oh-oo-oo
a change gonna come
alright, i go to the movie
and i go downtown
people always telling me that
the boy you better not hang around
lord it’s been alone
long time come near
but i know change gonna come
oh yes it will now
