For Mother and Dad

It is true we love de South all right, But, yes we love God too. An’ when he comes ter help us out, What’s left for us ter do? Den comes de North and wages high, Saying, come on up de horn, An’ den you think we’ll stay down here? “Not us” – Good bye, we’re gone. An’ let one race have all the South, Where color lines are drawn, For “Hagar’s Child” done [stem] de tide Farewell – we’re good and gone.
