What's wrong with the Lord's children? I don't understand What's wrong with the Lord's children? I don't understand Some men got no use for woman Ooo-well-well, some women got no use for man I wanna live on children Soon I would just like to see I wanna live on children I said I would just like to see What will become of us Ooo-well-well, by nineteen and fifty-three Some of the good Lord's children Some of them ain't no good Some of the good Lord's children Some of them ain't no good Some of them are the devil Ooo-well-well, and wouldn't help you if they could Some of the good Lord's children Is about to need some prayer Some of the Lord's children Needs about to kneel and pray You serve the devil in the night Hoo-well-well, and serve the Lord in the day. ~
