Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Send him to the fields
Send him to the wars
Send him on down
To slave on the farms
Steal his land
Rob his soul
Send him on down
To dig that hole
Give him no hope
Give him no trial
Put him in chains
Break that smile
Pull that barge
Tote that bale
Listen to him singin'
Hear him wail
[Verse 2]
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
[Verse 3]
Give him no peace
Give him no rest
Teach him to believe
Your god is the best
Sail him away
To the promised land
Send him on down
Into his master's hand
Take his woman
Take his child
Take him on down
To the murder mile
Pull that barge
Tote that bale
What's that song
You can hear him wail?
[Verse 4]
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
[Verse 5]
Now you wonder why
He's an angry man
Why there's a fire
In your father's land
And you wonder now
What tomorrow will bring
Will you hear him screamin'?
Will you hear him sing?
[Verse 6]
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
You wouldn't do that to a white boy
