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
The sins of the fathers
10
Are visited from old
11
In a never ending circle
12
Of people bought and sold
13
So the wretched of the earth
14
Will huddle from the cold
15
As the ship of fools goes sailing
16
On an ocean black as gold
17
So come and sit beside me
18
And let my tale unfold
19
Of a land of milk and honey
20
Where the truth must not be told
21
As men of rhyme and reason
22
Let the Devil take their soul
23
For greed and fame and fortune
24
And a river black as gold
25
The sins of the fathers
26
Are visited from old
27
In a never ending circle
28
Of people bought and sold
29
So the wretched of the earth
30
Will huddle from the cold
31
As the ship of fools goes sailing
32
On an ocean black as gold
33
And all the non-believers
34
Were hiding from the light
35
As a thousand burning crosses
36
Were scattered in the night
37
The thieves and the vagabonds
38
Were sinking in the sand
39
As the righteous Lord and Master
40
Stretches out a helping hand
41
The sins of the fathers
42
Are visited from old
43
In a never ending circle
44
Of people bought and sold
45
So the wretched of the earth
46
Will huddle from the cold
47
As the ship of fools goes sailing
48
On an ocean black as gold
49
And those who had to suffer
50
The sick, the young, the old
51
Were sacrificed to fortune
52
And left out in the cold
53
So in this new arrangement
54
The leaders sold their soul
55
For bangles, beads and baubles
56
And a river black as gold
57
The sins of the fathers
58
Are visited from old
59
In a never ending circle
60
Of people bought and sold
61
So the wretched of the earth
62
Will huddle from the cold
63
As the ship of fools goes sailing
64
On an ocean black as gold
65
The sins of the fathers
66
Are visited from old
67
In a never ending circle
68
Of people bought and sold
69
So the wretched of the earth
70
Will huddle from the cold
71
As the ship of fools goes sailing
72
On an ocean black as gold
