Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes - Joe Ely

All my people need food and water

And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

July sun gettin' hotter and hotter

And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

I went to the courthouse to speak my mind

They told me to stand in a long long line

All of my people need freedom and grace

Baby needs a new pair of shoes

July sun shinin' in my face

Baby needs a new pair of shoes

I wanna talk to the people who run this town

I’m gettin' tired of this merry-go-round

All of my people need common respect

Baby needs a new pair of shoes

July sun burning down my neck

And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

All I wanna do is to get back home

Instead of wastin' away at this Superdome

All of my people need food and water

And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

July sun gettin' hotter and hotter

And Baby needs a new pair of shoes

All of my people need freedom and grace

Baby needs a new pair of shoes

July sun shinin' in my face

Baby needs a new pair of shoes

All of my people need…

All of my people need…

All of my people need…

All of my people need…

You got to pass it around

Pass it around…
