Lyrics for Ellis Dee by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Ellis Dee | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 96 | | | | Lyrics: | Why is he cussin' and calling disgustin'
The city that is now his home
He never smiles or
keeps up with styles
He is black and he is all alone
And you ask why he's this way
Well
brother you're too blind to see
It's 'cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
Get
out of the street don't get high on my beat
Go on home the policeman warns
Just 'cause
you're poor why do you declare war
I can't help the way you were born
Why are they holdin'
him down
He's spending his life on his knees
'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and
me
[Chorus:]
Got to help Ellis
Got to help Ellis
You know we got to help Ellis
Ellis Dee
Try and help Ellis you and me
Got to get to Ellis hear his plea
Try and help
Ellis get free
Ellis got hooked he got booked and he shook
In his cold little shivery
cell
While out on the street in that same funky beat
Mister pusher was doing well
And
Ellis Junior cries tears his daddy can't see
'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and
me
[Chorus]
'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
No Ellis Dee ain't
free like you and me | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
