Shawn Mullins - Ferguson lyrics

All of ye fallen fathers and mothers I hear you calling from deep in your graves Songs about Jesus songs about freedom Shackles and crosses and the way blood behaves Sailed the great ocean sold down the river White fields of cotton and green fields of cane The sweat from our bodies the tears of our children Washed in the blood and Promised Land rain Brother fighting brother on ground we now hallow And sad halleluiahs the angels did sing For commerce is buried in fields that lay fallow The bell is too broken to let freedom ring All the dreams of the dreamers all misbegotten There's mammas still crying for the dying and dead And the world rages on and the whole thing is rotten The blood we all bleed is the same shade of red
