Buffalo Sun – Jonah lyrics
Jonah, the white man locked you out of schools
Jonah, controlled your mind, made you his tool

And you’re a damn foolish man
If you can’t understand
A white man’s hands
Are black as any man’s

Jonah, you’re breaking all the laws and rules
Jonah, you’re sweating brow says you’re no fool
You’re a hard working man
With a mattock in your hand
Waiting for the day
You will overcome and say

You’re a hard working man
Holding freedom in you’re hands
And you’re coming from the southern land
Running from the man

Jonah, abide by white rules and behave
Jonah, is what you’ve learned from brother slaves

Pray the Lord takes away
Chains that bind you by the legs
Reach from the grave
Let no white man make you beg

For Freedom, it's just a word used to deploy
Niggers, with equal rights as servant boys

And you’re a damn foolish man
If you can’t understand
A white man’s hands
Are black as any man’s

And you’re a hard working man
Holding freedom in you’re hands
And you’re coming from the southern land
Running from the man!
