Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done
Cutting my hair, cutting till the good Lord comes
[Verse 2]
I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free
I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free
I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free
Till the color of our skin, it don't mean a damn thing
I ain't open my eyes, open till we all walk free
[Verse 3]
I ain't picking up a paper till the wild wind blows
I ain't picking up a paper till the wild wind blows
I ain't picking up a paper till the wild wind blows
We should say what we should say, till we know what we should know
I ain't picking up a paper, picking till the wild wind blows
[Verse 4]
'Cause it's a coal, it's a coal war
Ah
It's a coal, coal, it's a coal war
Ah
[Verse 5]
I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done
I ain't cutting my hair, cutting till the good Lord comes
Till the good Lord comes
[Verse 6]
'Cause it's a coal, it's a coal war
Ah
It's a coal, coal, coal
[Verse 7]
If we don't walk free with hand in heart, it's time
We cannot see all we destroy, we're blind
[Verse 8]
It's not the hand that cuts, it's the heart we left behind
It's not the hand that cuts, it's the hatred deep inside
It's not the hand that cuts, it's the hatred deep inside
It's not the hand, not the hand
[Verse 9]
Five dollars and a head to keep
With dull black scissors and some kerosene
You burnt the house but you came to bid him well
Oh
What a thing to tell
Put poison in the well
[Verse 10]
Just to say
Just to say
Just to say
Just to say
[Verse 11]
I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
Ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes
Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done
I ain't cutting my hair, cutting till the good Lord comes
Till the good Lord comes
