My Slave

Lyrics

When your work is over I will let you play But 'til your work is over This railroad's in the way You must bail some hay My slave There's some sweat upon your brow Wipe it off Smilin's not allowed Wipe it off When your back is broken I will let you play But 'til your back is broken There's cotton to be picked I said right away My slave There's some blood upon your cheek Wipe it off You are starting to reek Wipe it off My slave, my slave, my slave My slaves
