| Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett/Buzz Cason Music：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 fee like you and me | |
| No Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me |
