This Is My Country

(Do-do-do)

(Do-do-do)

Some people think we don't have the right

To say it's my country

Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight

Than say it's my country

I've paid three hundred years or more

Of slave driving, sweat and welts on my back

This is my country

(Do-do-do)

(Do-do-do)

Too many have died in protecting my pride

For me to go second class

We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know

That you'll face us at last

And I know you will give consideration

Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation

This is my country

(Do-do-do)

(Do-do-do)

And I know you will give consideration

Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation

This is my country
