| Well you chop the wood, you bring the hammer down | |
| But when your work is done,well you're chained and bound | |
| You get up next day, with your aching pain | |
| Well you take the whip | |
| And you start again | |
| Now you're long gone, where you came from | |
| It's the same song from way back home | |
| Days are so long, pray to someone | |
| Maybe white god | |
| Will take us home … | |
| Now you're long gone … | |
| Your hear the sound in church | |
| Hear the white folks sing | |
| Maybe some sweet day | |
| You hear them church bells ring | |
| And your chains will break | |
| And the pain be gone | |
| See me dancing on a | |
| Sunday To a freedom song | |
| Yeah, you're long gone,where you came from | |
| It's the same song | |
| From way back home | |
| Days are so long | |
| Pray to someone | |
| Maybe white god | |
| Will take us home | |
