1
Once upon a time
2
And not so long ago
3
When things were much more simple
4
And time would travel slow
5
There came a righteous stranger
6
With a bible in his hand
7
To educate the sinners
8
And liberate their land
9
CHORUS
10
The sins of the fathers
11
Are visited from old
12
In a never ending circle
13
Of people bought & sold
14
So the wretched of the earth
15
Will huddle from the cold
16
As the ship of fools goes sailing
17
On an ocean black as gold
18
So come & sit beside me
19
And let my tale unfold
20
Of a land of milk & honey
21
Where the truth must not be told
22
As men of rhyme & reason
23
Let the devil take their soul
24
For greed & fame & fortune
25
And a river black as gold
26
CHORUS
27
And all the non-believers
28
Were hiding from the light
29
As a thousand burning crosses
30
Were scattered in the night
31
The thieves & the vagabonds
32
Were sinking in the sand
33
As the righteous lord & master
34
Stretches out a helping hand
35
CHORUS
36
And those who had to suffer
37
The sick, the young, the old
38
Were sacrificed to fortune
39
And left out in the cold
40
So in this new arrangement
41
The leaders sold their soul
42
For bangles, beads & baubles
43
And a river black as gold
44
CHORUS
