Take Your Hands Off My Land

TAKE YOUR HANDS
OFF MY LAND

I paid hard for my freedom
Give me naught but what is due
When the rain falls on the fields of sorghum
Put no tax on my revenue

I put food upon your table
I give it away if ya can not pay
I feed the poor and unable
I’ll get mine some other way

Take your hands off my land

Got no corn in my silo
Compassions well has run bone dry
No feed, no shoes for tomorrow
I’m hanging low, the end is nigh

Take your hands off my land
Take your hands off my land

Put no burden on the farmer
Feed your war from another hand
My blood is not your rainbow

Take your hands off my land

My blood is not your rainbow
Take your hands off my land
