Tears In the Cotton Field
For no man he should see
Working the fields of cotton
wishing one day he would be free
He works a hard days pay
In his bed he should lay
Waiting for the day to end
He has never been loved by a soul on this earth
And he never had friend
Until at last he was free
Now he is loved by everyone
And everybody
He sings a song everday
For the greater glory of men
And he works every now and then
He hides trying not to be caught
Until he was shot
