Big Daddy Wilson - Ain't No Slave lyrics

Take me far, far away To a foreign, a foreign land Take me from, from my mother Warm and love, love and hate Treat me like I'm a dog Kick me around all day long Tie me down, down and chain Beat me like I'm a slave I'm a slave Cause my skin, skin is black in my back, back is strong Keep me on, on a boat that is where I belong I am good, good for nothing Just a dog, dog of fool Made your pick, pick your card You make all, all the rules All the rules Don't pay me no damn mind if you see, see me cry These are not, not real tears Just water from my eyes Ain't got no name, ain't got no voice Don't feel no pain, ain't got no choice Ain't no man, ain't no man I'm a slave, so I am So I am All I got, all I have my sweat, blood, And tears 'n prayers When I'm dead, dead and gone Tell my people not to moan Take me far, far away into a foreign, a foreign land And when I'm dead, in my grave At least I ain't, I ain't no slave I ain't no slave And all I got, all I have my sweat, blood, And tears 'n prayers When I'm dead, dead and gone Tell my people not to moan Take me far, far away into a foreign a foreign land And when I'm dead, resting in my grave At least I ain't, I ain't no slave
