Aw aw uh. Aw aw uh.
Aw aw uh. Aw aw uh.
Get you back, you black slave.
Aw aw uh.
One more step to your grave.
Aw aw uh.
When you hear that chime bell.
Aw aw uh.
Curse the water to hell.
Aw aw uh.
May you scum dreaded time,
On the trap and the line.
Tie me down to a stone.
Hear my body twist and moan.
Prints and sweat above from my brow.
You come down to put me in chains.
I ain't going to be no white man's slave.
You come down to put me back in chains.
Set me free before I die.
Let me know reason why.
They won't leave me alone.
Take me back to my home.
Ain't going to be no white man's trash.
See the stripes across my back.
You have tried without success.
You're much more than the rest.
