Independence Blues

My name is MacDonald
I got myself a farm
And on that farm, I got be some negroes
Just to give the place a little charm
Now I was born in the Highlands
Come out here back in fifty-four
Come out to the Carolinas
To start again on a new-found shore
Now I ain’t got no taxman
And I ain’t got no chief, too
Gonna make a fresh start as a freeman
My niggers gonna see me through
Oh, yeah!
They gonna see me through!
I got no future in my ain country
Couldn’t go back if I wanted to
So I came out here to old Cape Fear
But now the revolution’s come here too
Governer came down, and said:
«You Highland men!
You got to fight now for your King!»
And the funniest thing is that thirty years ago
Bonnie Charlie said the exact same thing
With a Patriot here and a Loyalist there
I got the independence blues
Ain’t gonna fight no more on a losing score
So King Georgie let me fight for you
Hey, Georgie!
Let me fight for you!
My sins hae been mony
An' my sorrows hae been sair
But there they’ll never vex me
Or be remembered mair
For his bluid has made me white
An His han' shall dry my e’e
When he brings me hame at last
To my ain countrie
