Send him to the fields, send him to the wars
|
Send him on down to slave on the farms
|
Steal his land, rob his soul
|
Send him on down to dig that hole
|
|
Give him no hope, give him no trial
|
Put him in chains, break that smile
|
Pull that barge, tote that bale
|
Listen to him singin¡¯, hear him wail
|
|
You wouldn¡¯t do that to a whiteboy
|
You wouldn¡¯t do that to a whiteboy
|
You wouldn¡¯t do that to a whiteboy
|
|
Give him no peace, give him no rest
|
Teach him to believe your god is the best
|
Sail him away, to the promised land
|
Send him on down into his masters hand
|
Take his woman, take his child
|
Take him on down to the murder mile
|
Pull that barge, tote that bale
|
What¡¯s that song you hear him wail
|
|
Now you wonder why he¡¯s an angry man
|
Why there¡¯s fire in your father¡¯s land
|
And wonder now what tomorrow will bring
|
Will you hear him screamin¡¯, will you hear him sing.
