Well you chop the wood, you bring the hammer down | |
But when your work is done,well you're chained and bound | |
You get up next day, with your aching pain | |
Well you take the whip | |
And you start again | |
Now you're long gone, where you came from | |
It's the same song from way back home | |
Days are so long, pray to someone | |
Maybe white god | |
Will take us home … | |
Now you're long gone … | |
Your hear the sound in church | |
Hear the white folks sing | |
Maybe some sweet day | |
You hear them church bells ring | |
And your chains will break | |
And the pain be gone | |
See me dancing on a | |
Sunday To a freedom song | |
Yeah, you're long gone,where you came from | |
It's the same song | |
From way back home | |
Days are so long | |
Pray to someone | |
Maybe white god | |
Will take us home | |
Days are so long | |
Pray to someone | |
Maybe white god | |
Will take us home … | |
Yeah you're long gone … |
Well you chop the wood, you bring the hammer down | |
But when your work is done, well you' re chained and bound | |
You get up next day, with your aching pain | |
Well you take the whip | |
And you start again | |
Now you' re long gone, where you came from | |
It' s the same song from way back home | |
Days are so long, pray to someone | |
Maybe white god | |
Will take us home | |
Now you' re long gone | |
Your hear the sound in church | |
Hear the white folks sing | |
Maybe some sweet day | |
You hear them church bells ring | |
And your chains will break | |
And the pain be gone | |
See me dancing on a | |

Yeah, you' re long gone, where you came from | |
It' s the same song | |
