Border Song [Holy Moses] - Aretha Franklin

Holy Moses, I have been removed

I have seen the spectre, he has been here too

Distant cousin from down the line

Brand of people who ain’t my kind

Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived

Now the wind has changed direction, and I’ll have to leave

Won’t you please excuse my frankness

But it’s not my cup of tea

Holy Moses, I have been deceived

I’m going back to the border where my affairs

My affairs ain’t abused

I can’t take any more bad water

Been poisoned from my head down to my shoes, oh

Holy Moses, I have been deceived

Holy Moses, let us live in peace

Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease

There’s a man over there, what’s his color?

I don’t care

He’s my brother, let us live in peace, oh

He’s my brother, let us live in peace, oh

He’s my brother, let us, let us live in peace
