Cry for home
I was born on the river road, I swear that’s all I knowI was free with no heavy load, choose any way I goI was free with my head up high, a prince inmy land of homeBut the devil’s come and take me out, chain me to mybroken bonesCome onCryCome on cry for home
My princess she was taken tooBut I don’t know where she goMy princess she was taken tooBut I don’t know where she goNow I’m beat up with a broken soulI can’t choose nothin’ no moreCome on, cryCome on, cry, cry, cry for home …
Now I’m the captain of your bullwhipNow, don’t you try to cross me …See how this leather’s shiningNow you forget about being free ...You’re going to end up one more black slaveLeft out on the open seaCome on cry for homeCry for home
Don’t know where I’m going to, chains on my bleeding bonesDon’t know where I’m going to, chains on my bleeding bonesI hear my love in the stinking darkI hear her scream and moanCaptain said it’s just one more black slaveWho cries for home
Yeah, cry for home, come on and cry for home
