40 Acres & A Mule

Been ‘round the block

Once or twice

Bought the ticket ‘n’ paid the price!

Been sittin’ back a long time

Just tryin to keep my cool

Whole time I’m steady waitin’

On my 40 acres and my mule!

They told me a tale

And I believed it!

My check in the mail

I never received it

Sittin’ by the mailbox

Sittin’ there waiting like a fool

Is it ever coming?

My 40 acres and my mule!

I’m waitin on justice

I’m waitin on truth

I’m praying for patience

I’m looking for proof

Proof that all this waiting

And tryin’ to live the Golden Rule

Hasn’t made me void my ticket

My 40 acres and my mule!
