Slavery days

Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And how they beat us (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And how they worked us so hard (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And how they used us (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Till they refuse us (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Mm, and a big fat bull
Mm, we usually pull it ev'rywhere
Mm, we must pull it
Mm, with shackles around our necks
Mm, and I can see it all no more
Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Some of us survive (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Show ing them that we are still a live (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
History can recall, history can recall (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
History can recall the days of slav'ry (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Oh slav'ry day (do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
