Sad when you′re sick at home alone
Won't nobody comin' 'round
Sad when you're sick at home alone
Oh, Lord, no one will come around
Just look like everybody tellin' everybody else
Poor boy is sinkin' down
Thousand years my people was a slave
When I was born, they teach me this way
Thousand years my peoples was slaves
When I was born, they teach me this way
Tip your hat to the peoples
Be careful son about what you say
Didn't make no difference if it was rainin′
Do you know, man, you just had to go
Make no difference if it was rainin'
Woah, man, you just had to go
But I′m so glad, I'm so glad, I′m so glad
It ain't slavery time no more
Grandma told Grandpa one mornin'
I′m tired at livin′, I just assume to die
Why these peoples treatin' us this way?
I just can't see the reason why
Grandpa told grandma, "Don't worry
We'll be alright at awhile"
Grandpa told Grandma if we get called back
Just twenty years ago
Everybody wanna get called back old lady
I'm talkin' 'bout twenty years ago
Yes, I would get my shotgun and
I wouldn't be a slave no more
Won't nobody comin' 'round
Sad when you're sick at home alone
Oh, Lord, no one will come around
Just look like everybody tellin' everybody else
Poor boy is sinkin' down
Thousand years my people was a slave
When I was born, they teach me this way
Thousand years my peoples was slaves
When I was born, they teach me this way
Tip your hat to the peoples
Be careful son about what you say
Didn't make no difference if it was rainin′
Do you know, man, you just had to go
Make no difference if it was rainin'
Woah, man, you just had to go
But I′m so glad, I'm so glad, I′m so glad
It ain't slavery time no more
Grandma told Grandpa one mornin'
I′m tired at livin′, I just assume to die
Why these peoples treatin' us this way?
