You Belong to Me |
| Summer sun beats down |
| On Virginia's cotton fields |
| Strong hands work the strong black earth |
| To the call of the chickadee |
| A tall man rides with shiny boots |
| On a horse named Robert E. Lee |
| Now whip will crack and tear men's backs |
| And ankle chains will gleam |
| He said eagles fly and rabbits run |
| And fire leaps from tree to tree |
| You may think you belong to you |
| But you belong to me |
| You belong to me |
| You belong to me |
| Yeah you belong to me |
| Shiny boots cut 'cross the wet grass |
| Door hinge creaks 'bout quarter to three |
| Slave quarters are still and silent |
| Strong hand covers her mouth as she sleeps |
| She holds her breath and prays that death |
| Will lift her from this dream |
| In the next room her young children are cryin' |
| When they hear that muffled scream |
| He said eagles fly and rabbits run |
| And fire leaps from tree to tree |
| You may think you belong to you |
| But you belong to me |
| You belong to me |
| You belong to me |
| Yeah you belong to me |
| Fire lept behind the stranger |
| As he stood upon the porch |
| In his right hand he held a shotgun |
| In his other hand a torch |
| Master's shot went wide |
| Nat Turner stood him on his knees |
| The plantation burned around them |
| Master cursed and whispered, "Please" |
| Nat threw the torch aside |
| So his other hand was free |
| He cocked back the hammer |
| The fire lept from tree to tree |
| He said eagles fly and rabbits run |
| And fire leaps as you can see |
| You may think you belong to you |
| But you belong to me |
| You belong to me |
| You belong to me |
| Yeah you belong to me |
