Life is hard a black mans struggle
But master say he has no other
Yesterday I spilled his tea
So Master whipped the devil out of me
All day out in the cotton field
Sun is hot and I have no shield
I took my chance I tried to flee
So Master whipped the devil out of me
He took my heart he took my sole
His eyes are black like piece of coal
His anger burns but he calms you see
When master whipping the devil out of me
Life is hard a black mans struggle
But master say he has no other
Yesterday I spilled his tea
So Master whipped the devil out of me
All day out in the cotton field
Sun is hot and I have no shield
I took my chance I tried to flee
So Master whipped the devil out of me
Life is hard a black mans struggle
But master say he has no other
Yesterday I spilled his tea
So Master whipped the devil out of me
