Rainbow Man

I was born in Alabama, but I never knew my Momma
 She gave me away at three months old
 Some folks in Mississippi took me in an' kept me
 An' treated me just like I was their own
 A Holiness preacher man's daughter
 And a hard-working sharecropper father
 An' my Momma was Apache
 My real Daddy? Hell, don't ask me
 Momma says she don't remember him
 An' I'm sure somewhere in my history
 I've got some slave blood in me
 An' some folks think that I look Mexican
 I never really fit in any place
 'Cause there's always a part of me to hate
 I'm the rainbow man
 That's who I am
 I'm a little white an' black an' red and tanned
 I've got all these different colors in my skin
 I'm the rainbow man
 Well, I know you may doubt it
 But if you stop an' think about it
 There's one common thing that we've all got
 People from all countries come here because they're hungry
 For what's cookin' in America's meltin' pot
 We're all different but the same
 Red's the only color in our veins
 And I'm the rainbow man
 Livin' in a rainbow land
 I'm white an' black an' yellow an' brown an' red and tanned
 And I'm so proud of all the colors that I am
 I'm the rainbow man
 All these colors make me American
 I'm the rainbow man
