The ink is black, the page is white
3 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3
Together we learn to read and write
3 4 5 3 3 4 5 3
A child is black, a child is white
3 4 -4 5 -5-5 5 -4 4 -3 3 3 -3b -3 4 -4 4 -3b 4 -4 4
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight
3 3 -3 -4 3 3 4 5
And now a child can understand
4 3 3 -3 -4 -5 -6 6 -4 6 -6 -6 6
That this is the law of all the land, all the land

The world is black, the world is white
3 4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3
It turns by day and then by night
3 4 5 3 3 4 5 3
A child is black, a child is white
3 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 -3b 3 3 3 -3b -3 4
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light
3 3 -3 -4 3 3 4 5
And now at last we plainly see
4 3 -3 -4 -5 -6 6 -4 6 -6 -6 6
We’ll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!
