We All Got to Help Each Other - Kenny Rogers, The First Edition

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

See the child out on the street

Ragged clothes and just bare feet

We got to help him if we can

You see his momma, she’s all alone

Can’t get by 'cause her daddy’s gone

We got to help her if we can

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

See the man walking down the road

Burden down with a heavy load

We got to help him if we can

Look so tired and he’s all alone

Got no place he can call his home

We got to help him if we can

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

See the women, she’s dressed in black

Son went to war but he didn’t come back

We got to help her if we can

They send him off to war and they send him to die

Said he had to go but they wouldn’t say why

We got to help him if we can

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We all got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We got to help each other if we’re gonna get by

We got to help each other if we’re gonna get by
