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 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
