Rainbow Man

[00:35.95] I was born in Alabama, but I never knew my Momma
[00:36.78] She gave me away at three months old
[00:38.23] Some folks in Mississippi took me in an' kept me
[00:43.29] An' treated me just like I was their own
[00:44.05] A Holiness preacher man's daughter
[00:51.36] And a hard-working sharecropper father
[01:01.21] An' my Momma was Apache
[01:04.98] My real Daddy? Hell, don't ask me
[01:06.57] Momma says she don't remember him
[01:08.10] An' I'm sure somewhere in my history
[01:09.61] I've got some slave blood in me
[01:10.10] An' some folks think that I look Mexican
[01:14.32] I never really fit in any place
[01:19.59] 'Cause there's always a part of me to hate
[01:25.56] I'm the rainbow man
[01:31.52] That's who I am
[01:35.73] I'm a little white an' black an' red and tanned
[01:44.15] I've got all these different colors in my skin
[01:49.30] I'm the rainbow man
[02:00.81] Well, I know you may doubt it
[02:02.64] But if you stop an' think about it
[02:13.10] There's one common thing that we've all got
[02:16.54] People from all countries come here because they're hungry
[02:27.42] For what's cookin' in America's meltin' pot
[02:29.37] We're all different but the same
[02:41.81] Red's the only color in our veins
[02:42.93] And I'm the rainbow man
[02:47.82] Livin' in a rainbow land
[02:55.13] I'm white an' black an' yellow an' brown an' red and tanned
[02:55.91] And I'm so proud of all the colors that I am
[02:56.44] I'm the rainbow man
[02:58.88] All these colors make me American
[03:05.30] I'm the rainbow man
[03:12.98]
