Ellis Dee -  Jimmy Buffett, Buzz Cason

    Why is he cussin' and callin' 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 that 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:
    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

    'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
    No Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
