Clotilda's On Fire

She's comin for you

Hear the chains rattle

Turn you into a slave

Another piece of chattel

Across the seas

Stormy waters

Showed no mercy

She was satan’s daughter

Born to steal

With bodies to sell

She had her own special

Place in hell

Clotilda's on fire

Off the alabama coast

Clotilda's on fire

We’re still livin' with her ghost

She took souls

On a horrible trip

Her morning song

Was the crack of a whip

Ones who survived

Died a long time ago

Most of them buried

Out at old plateau

But the pain and the memory

Will never go away

Her spirits still lives

By the shores of the bay

Clotilda's on fire

Off the alabama coast

Clotilda's on fire

We're still livin' with her ghost

She was a dirty secret

Forgot but not forgiven

But the shame was so great

She could not stay hidden

She's on fire....

Her flame no longer lights up atnight

Now dreams survive and hope burns bright

People still come from miles around

To praise the folks of africatown

Who rose from the ashes of sad history

To stand unchained proud and free

Clotilda's on fire

Off the alabama coast

Clotilda’s on fire

We’re still livin' with her ghost

Clotilda’s on fire

Off the alabama coast

Clotilda's on fire

We're still livin'

We’re still livin'

With her ghost
