Slave’s Lament |
It was in sweet Senegal |
That my foes did me enthral |
For the lands of Virginia o Torn from that lovely shore |
And must never see it more |
And alas I am weary weary o All on that charming coast |
Is no bitter snow or frost |
Like the lands of Virginia o There streams forever flow |
And the flowers forever grow |
And alas I am weary weary o This burden I must bear |
While the cruel scourge i fear |
In the lands of Virginia o And I think on friends most dear |
With a bitter bitter tear |
And alas I am weary weary o It was in sweet senegal |
That my foes did me enthral |
For the lands of Virginia o Torn from that lovely shore |
And must never see it more |
And alas I am weary weary o |
