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)   Publishing copyright: elgin music   Copyright 1986 nazareth (dunfermline) ltd., dunfermline
