plantation boss.....

[laughingwillow]

early to work in the morning
yolk around the neck,
plantation boss come around
and want to give me heck

told me my row ain't hoed straight -
shouted it out for all to hear
said I'd better get crackin' as there was
still a whole mountain top to clear....

one day I'll follow my shadow
all the way down that crest
but until that time I'll toil up top
singing gospel with the rest...

haha, nice angry song of the working man...

always a fucking mountain top somewhere to clear...and a yolk...

[judih]

hey, guys, a yolk's a yolk, but what does egg have to do with it. (yoke)

glad you feel the humour. part of the daily grind is feeling my inner sisyphus.

[laughingwillow]

Doh!

Actually......

This is a song of spiritual oppression by religious leaders. And the yolk around one's neck represents the rights opposition to the right of choice....  :smoke2:
