One day a friend took me aside and said I have to leave you for buying something from a friend they say Ive done wrong for protecting the name of a man they say Ill have to leave you, so now Im bidding you farewell for much too long. And heres a song to sing, for every man inside, if he can hear you sing its an open door. Theres not a rich man there, who couldnt pay his way and buy the freedom thats a high price for the poor. One day a friend said to her kids Im gonna have to leave you for selling something to the man I guess I did wrong and although I did the best I could Im gonna have to leave you so now Im kissing you farewell for much too long. And heres a song to sing, for every man inside if he can hear you sing its an open door. Theres not a rich man there who couldnt pay his way and buy the freedom thats a high price for the poor.
