Buked and Scorned (from the album “My Lord What a Mornin”, 1960) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

I′ve been buked and I've been scorned
I′ve been buked and I've been scorned
Children, I've been buked and I′ve been scorned
Tryin′ to make this journey all alone


You may talk about me sure as you please
Talk about me sure as you please
Children, talk about me sure as you please
Your talk will never drive me down to my knees

Jesus, Jesus died to set me free
Jesus died to set me free
Children, Jesus died to set me free
Nailed, nailed to that cross on Calvary

I've been buked and I′ve been scorned
I've been buked and scorned
Children, I′ve been buked and I've been scorned
Tryin′ to make this journey all alone
