about

From the singing of Addie Graham

lyrics

Stole and sold from Africa
Transported to America
Like hogs and sheep to march adrove
To bear the heat, endure the cold

See husbands taken from their wives
Small children from their mothers’ sides
All taken to some foreign land
Made slaves to wait on gentlemen

See how the officers gun them down
their only crime being black or brown
No more to wear the chains of slaves
But now the chains of jails and graves

Don’t close your eyes! Can’t you see
Oppression in our own country
Attend the cry and hear the wail
And fight for justice to prevail
