1.Amen
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield, Johnny Pate
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
Sing it over
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
See the little baby wrapped in a manger
On Christmas morning
Singing in a temple, talking with the elders
Tomorrow there's wisdom
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
Hallelujah
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
Down at the Jordan, John was baptizing
And savin' all sinners
See him at the seaside talking with the fisherman
And made them disciples
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
Keep on pushin', now
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
Hallelujah now
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
2.Check Out Your Mind
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
Here's something that you never had, it slid in on an oily rag
The price is right up on the tag, I'll put in a brand new bag
This thing will let you be yourself and won't offend nobody else
Nothing like you ever saw and it's not against the law
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
People thinking they've been took, just finding out they over
looked
They never found the missing link, forgot they had a mind to
think
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Check out your mind, check out your mind, check out your mind
Trust in me and I in you, no matter what you see me do
I'm doing me for all I'm worth, none do be better on this earth
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Why don't you check out your mind, been with you all the time
Check out your mind
Check out your mind
Check out your mind

3.Choice Of Colors
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
If you had a choice of color
Which one would you choose, my brothers？
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right？
How long have you hated your white teacher？
Who told you, you love your black preacher？
Do you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks not of kin？
People must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation would make a better society
Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
Than to bring about a little trust
But we shall overcome our beliefs someday
If you'll only listen to what I have to say
And how long have you hated your white teacher？
Who told you, you love your black preacher？
Can you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks not of kin？
I said, 'Now people must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation would make a better society'
And if you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose, my brothers？
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right？
And if you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose, my brothers？
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right？
4.Fool For You
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
Never liked nobody that's been mean to me
I've got a heart full of stone and I hate the misery
Then you came along into my life
Destroying my mind, mounting up the toil and strife
But I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for you
But I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for you
Guess I'll always be and I claim it famously
'Cause I'm a fool for you, it's a doggone shame
Knowin' you don't love me, you go on and use me
So continuously, I don't know why, I love you like I do
When you're breaking my heart and you know it's true
But I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for you
But I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for you
Doggin' me every day but child, I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a fool for you, you don't want me to stay
But I'm a fool for you, do me wrong now every day
Child, I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha hoo, I'm a fool for you
5.Gypsy Woman
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
From nowhere through a caravan around the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
That hypnotized me with love
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She danced around and round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow how she enchanted me
Oh, how I'd like to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
All through the caravan, she was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go knowing she'll never know
That I love her, I love her
A gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman, she was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman, she was a gypsy woman
6.I'm So Proud
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
Prettier than all the world and I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you
You're only one fellow's girl and I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
And I'm so proud girl
I'm so proud of you
Compliments to you from all the people we meet
Yes, and I'm so proud
Believe me, I love you too
I'm so proud of being loved by you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yeah, and I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you

When lights are low
When you move it slow, it sounds like more
And it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Now listen to the beat
Kinda pat your feet
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right
When you wake up early in the morning
Feelin' sad like so many of us do
Hum a little soul
Make life your goal
And surely something's got to come to you
And say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)

Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
Keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin'
I've got to keep on pushing
I can't stop now
Move up a little higher
Someway or somehow
'Cause I've got my strength
And it don't make sense
Not to keep on pushin'
Hey, Hallelujah,Hallelujah
Keep on pushin'
Now, maybe some day
I'll reach that higher goal
I know I can make it
With just a little bit of soul
'Cause I've got my strength
And it don't make sense
Not to keep on pushin'
Now look a look, look a look
A look a yonder
A what's that I see
A great big stone wall
Stands there ahead of me
But I've got my pride
And I'll move the wall aside

9.Woman's Got Soul
Lyricist：Curtis Mayfield
She may not be the best lookin' woman
I ever did see
Nor have the charms of the ladies
Of high society
But the woman's got soul
Worth all money and gold
And all the love that I have belongs
To the woman with soul
Now I'm just a regular fellow
I don't need much
I don't need a Cadillac car
Or diamonds and such
But the woman that I hold
She's got to have soul
And then I'm richer than the richest gold
If the woman's got soul
Well, I don't need a woman
That's got a whole lotta class
Because class in a woman
Don't mean she's gonna last
I need the kind of woman
That when I hold she fits so tight, yeah
Oh, and when she throws it on me
I give in without a fight then I know
The woman's got soul
Worth all money and gold
And then I'm richer than the richest gold
If the woman's got soul
If the woman's got soul
If the woman's got soul
If the woman's got soul

For you see nothing could ever be that bad
Though the talk is now all over town
Darling, you know I'd never put you down
True, her and me were at the party as guests
There's nothing else to say about whom I love best
And you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
