Ten Million Slaves

Singer:Otis Taylor

Album:Respect the Dead

Rain and fire crossed that ocean

Another mad man done struck again

Rain and fire crossed that ocean

Another mad man done struck again

Sitting down here fallout shelter

Paint my walls

twice a week

Sitting down here fallout shelter

Think about the slaves

long time ago

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean

They had shackles on Their Legs

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean

They had Shackles on Their Legs

Don't know where

where they're going

Don't know where

where they've been

Don't know where

where they're going

Don't know where

where they've been

Sun goes out

you'll be standing

You'll be standing by yourself

Sun goes out

you'll be standing

You'll be standing by yourself

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean

They Had Shackles on their legs

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean

They had shackles on their legs

Don't know where

where they're going

Don't know where

where they've been

Don't know where

where they're going

Don't know where

where they've been

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean

They had shackles on their legs

Food goes bad

food looks rancid

But they ate it anyway

Don't know where

where they're going

Don't know where

where they've been

Don't know where

where they're going

Don't know where

where they've been

Sun goes out

you'll be standing

You'll be standing all alone

Sun goes out

you'll be standing

You'll be standing all alone

All alone

All alone

All alone

All alone
