Cry for Home

I was born on the river road, I swear that’s all I know

I was free with no heavy load, choose any way I go

I was free with my head up high, a prince in

My land of home

But the devil’s come and take me out, chain me to my

Broken bones

Come on

Cry

Come on cry for home

My princess she was taken too

But I don’t know where she go

My princess she was taken too

But I don’t know where she go

Now I’m beat up with a broken soul

I can’t choose nothin’ no more

Come on, cry

Come on, cry, cry, cry for home …

Now I’m the captain of your bullwhip

Now, don’t you try to cross me …

See how this leather’s shining

Now you forget about being free ...

You’re going to end up one more black slave

Left out on the open sea

Come on cry for home

Cry for home

Don’t know where I’m going to, chains on my bleeding bones

Don’t know where I’m going to, chains on my bleeding bones

I hear my love in the stinking dark

I hear her scream and moan

Captain said it’s just one more black slave

Who cries for home

Yeah, cry for home, come on and cry for home
