  • By: jimmy buffett, buzz cason
  • 1970
  • 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 hes this way
  • Well brother youre too blind to see
  • Its cause ellis dee aint free like you and me
  • Get out of the street dont get high on my beat
  • Go on home the policeman warns
  • Just cause youre poor why do you declare war
  • I cant help the way that you were born
  • Why are they holdin him down
  • Hes spending his life on his knees
  • cause ellis dee aint 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 cant see
  • cause ellis dee aint 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 aint fee like you and me
  • No ellis dee aint free like you and me
