I was born on the river road, I swear that's all I know I was free with no heavy load, choose any way I go I was free with my head up high, a prince in my land of home But the devil's come and take me out, chain me to my broken bones Come on Cry Come on cry for home My princess she was taken too But I don't know where she go My princess she was taken too But I don't know where she go Now I'm beat up with a broken soul I can't choose nothin' no more Come on, cry Come on, cry, cry, cry for home … Now I'm the captain of your bullwhip Now, don't you try to cross me … See how this leather's shining Now you forget about being free ... You're going to end up one more black slave Left out on the open sea Come on cry for home Cry for home Don't know where I'm going to, chains on my bleeding bones Don't know where I'm going to, chains on my bleeding bones I hear my love in the stinking dark I hear her scream and moan Captain said it's just one more black slave Who cries for home Yeah, cry for home, come on and cry for home
