I'm Just a Slave |
| I am a slave |
| Yes, I’m only a slave |
| They’ll place my body in an unmarked grave |
| In these confederate days |
| It’s kinda hard to lift every voice singing |
| While worrying about how low the sweet chariots are swinging |
| I could swing from a tree, but hey |
| Oh, I hope and pray they don’t kill me today |
| I am still just a slave |
| I am a slave |
| In the home of the brave |
| A product of the triangular trade |
| Please pardon my ways |
| If I’m nervous or the slightest bit skittish |
| In the presence of the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, or British |
| They kept me in colonial chains |
| Tell me how to persuade them to chill |
| Or to save me and still I’m a slave |
| Oh, I hope and pray they don’t kill me today |
| I am still just a slave |
