it won't fill more than a chapter in some textbook
My battles are gory and glorified,
My head hung in shame beneath my shawl
Let the wounds settle in,
To numb it all, yeah to use the fall
Cuz we're in this together, my friend
I gotta fight for my freedom
Till the end comes, the end drags me in
In Mississippi, the White Hunter
A winter's cold, no place for black folk
now I don't know what to do
I'm just a woman of blues and black
And I sing and I sway till it all goes away
And it frees me, don't hold me back
Cause we're in this together, my friends
We gotta fight for our freedom
Till the end comes, the end drags us in
Mama told me I'd grow up to be
I don't think I'll ever get out
There's some topic of tragedy
All that I loved about this
When I mourned him that day
They took my husband away from my dear
He ain't committed no crime
Just the wrong place and time
White man done wrong, yeah, he tell a lie
Cause we're in this together, my man
You better fight for your freedom
Till the end comes, the end drags you in
It's too bad you can't leave jail,
You gotta say them words,
