wynton marsalis – work song (blood on the fields) lyrics
[men, spoken]
soon can mean ten minutes, or ten lifetimes.
fourteen years of bondage has passed.
[jesse]
mmm
[leona]
mmm hmm
[jesse]
liftin’ and a+totin’
[leona]
packin’ and a+sackin’
[jesse]
pickin’ and a+hoein’
[leona]
seedin’ and a+feedin’
[jesse]
plowin’ and a+growin’
mmm hmm, all day long
i raise my head to sky
beat back down by sun’s burning gaze
the field hand’s cry
i split my fingers down to the blood again
[leona]
blood on the fields
king cotton grow
brown soil yields
white up above
red down below
brown soil yields
white up above
red down below
and tomorrow
i can’t take no more, no more, no more
[jesse]
all day long
woman
hush up your whining now
and hold your head up high
to curse this evil land
to h+ll with this strange man
watching over me
day long
i rise
bеat down
again
[leona]
oh, just hold that whip, massa
[jesse]
driver! driver, hold that whip
[leona]
down on one knee
[jesse]
got to gеt free
cruel hot sun
[leona]
day is just begun
[jesse]
all day long
[jesse & leona]
blood on the fields
king cotton grow
brown soil yields
white up above
red down below
take me home
far, far away
blood on the fields
blood on the fields
[jesse]
pickin’ and a+hoein’
[leona]
blood on the fields
[jesse]
packin’ and a+sackin’
[leona]
blood on the fields
[jesse]
plowin’ and a+growin’
[leona]
blood on the fields
[jesse]
liftin’ and a+totin’
[leona]
blood on the fields
[jesse]
got to get, got to get free, got to get free
[jesse & leona]
red down below
[leona]
and tomorrow
