Send him to the fieldssend him to the wars

Send him on down to slave on the farms

Steal his landrob his soul

Send him on down to dig that hole



Give him no hopegive him no trial

Put him in chainsbreak that smile

Pull that bargetote 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 peacegive him no rest

Teach him to believe your God is the best

Sail him awayto the promised land

Send him on down into his masters hand

Take his womantake his child

Take him on down to the murder mile

Pull that bargetote 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.
