A Slave’s’ Story
Weep ole wind, and carry my name
Tell my story, of love and pain
Reveal my life, to those that come
To hear of my journey, and where I was from
Tell my story, and how you knew
Of how I searched the whole night through
To find out what was happening to me
Tell my story for those to see
The pain that came, to me that day
They placed me in chain, and took me away
From everything that I came to know
Tell my story, and tell it slow
That from my hands a nation would rise
The cost was nothing, but only our lives
So tell my story of love and pain
Weep ole wind, and carry my name
