They take our wives, insult and mock,

And sell our children on the block,

They choke us if we say a word,

And say that “niggers” shan’t be heard. [Chorus.]

Our preachers, too, with whip and cord,

Command obedience in the Lord;

They say they learn it from the big book,

But for ourselves, we dare not look. [Chorus.]

There is a country far away,

I think they call it Canada,
