Scandalize My Name

Marian Anderson


I met my mother the other day
And gave her my right hand
And just as soon as ever my back was turned
She scandalized my name

Now do you call that a mother?
No, no
You call that a mother?
No, no
You call that a mother
No, no
Scandalize my name

I met my sister the other day
I gave her my right hand
And just as soon as ever my back was turned
She scandalized my name

Now do you call that a sister?
No, no
You call that a sister?
No, no
You call that a sister?
No, no
Scandalize my name

I met my preacher the other day
I gave him my right hand
And just as soon as ever my back was turned
He too scandalized my name

Now do you call that a preacher?
No, no
You call that religion?
No, no
You call that a preacher?
No, no
Scandalize my name.
