The Gold Mine

poor little negro
sitting in a tree
eating his favorite
cocoa leaves
along came some fellows
takin' him away
take away his culture
put him on a plane
poor little negro
sitting in the states
he's about to try his
first chocolate shake
poor little negro
puking in the sink
he's regained his culture
finally found a link
