Slaves 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 |
