So this next tune is a song
that they used to sing.

This is not a new song.

G
It's just been changed around a little bit.
when the slaves was being sold,
lots of time the mother was sold
from daughter and son.
Lots of times son and daughter
was sold from mother and father.
Father sold from mother and children.
G
C
And vice versa.
Well, they couldn't,
when they was being on the block,
they was on the block to be sold,
they couldn't socialize with their relatives, children,
anything like that,
because people would sympathize with them.
And a lot of time they wouldn't buy them,
F
because they'd weep and cry so
over their children
C
that people just feel sorry
for them
and walk off on them,
you know, and they wouldn't buy them.
So if they wept over their children
or their husband or their wife,
they got a whooping.
But they still had a way
of getting a message over to them.
You know, they believed in God.
God was all they did have to believe in.
And when they were separating
from their children,
lots of times they would try to
deliver them message
and most times they was trying to tell them
how to take care of themselves
throughout life.
