My grandfather
Down in the Congo he came from
Tall like a tree, brown as mud
Sent to the land of the free
Picked cotton for master
Soon we free
Walk to the poll
Only the back I can enter from
My gradfather
Down in the Congo he came from
Tall like a tree, brown as mud
Sent to the land of the free
I guess no vote for me
