White Boy |
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 |
(Manny Charlton) |
