Mama their digging deep in my dirt,

Mama their looking under my skirt.

Mama their hiding under my bed,

I feel my bones shiver so I know I'm not dead.

Alone on the ocean, alone at sea.

Steering my boat to thee.

Alone with my ideas, alone in my heart.

No more shall we be apart.

Papa their building a house on my grave.

Crushing the last memory of a homeborn slave.

Papa their making a mock of my dreams.

Its never as good as it seems.

Alone on the ocean, alone at sea.

Steering my boat to thee.

Alone with my ideas, alone in my heart.

No more shall we be apart.
