Who was my mother, who was my father
All I've known is a whip upon my back
My skin is yellowed by much more than weakness
And wise beyond the years of the blue and the black
My arms were never strong enough to stir molasses
My eyes watch riverboats as they go by
Some call me mistress, but I wish that I was cargo
Floating down the Brazos in my chariot to the sky
[Refrão]
Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me
Tonight and every night to come
And won't you calm all that's raging inside me
'Cause outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won
My people, they worked from can't see to can't see
Traded in and out from the grassy shores
They say there's something about me
Flying like a bird, never known freedom before___
Well, I wear dresses of silks and threaded satins
Some gowns were only meant to bear a woman's breast
I'll stand down every white man in this county
But Columbus you are dying and I'm no different from the rest
[Refrão]
Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me
Tonight and every night to come
And won't you calm all that's raging inside me
Am G F C G F C G F C
Outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won
Instrumental: G F C Am G F C
I was born in the hills of Kentucky
Never native to the auction block arrest
Headed Southbound as a captive in this country
Just like the cowboys drove their cattle through the West___
Well, you can read all our names in the records
You can deny all the days as they go down
There's a brick-laid pathway calling you to find us
Underneath a golf course in an east Texas town
[Refrão]
Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me
Tonight and every night to come
And won't you calm all that's raging inside me
'Cause outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won
Santa Ana won____
