| 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. | |
