Lots of people walk about proud and free

Lift up your head start looking around

There's a brandnew feeling of liberty

Like a clear bell that's starting to sound



Plantation boy

C'mon and get going

Yesterday's chains have broken in two

Plantation boy

The new move is growing

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you

Plantation boy

Plantation boy



Lots of smiling faces for you to meet

So many hands to help you along

Just shake off the mud that weighs down your feet

If you stand tall you just can't go wrong



Plantation boy

C'mon and get going

Yesterday's chains have broken in two

Plantation boy

The new move is growing

Reaching the hills, the valleys and you

Plantation boy

Plantation boy



Years of picking cotton for little pay

Living alone in some wooden shack

Sweating in the heat of a summer's day

This is all over, you won't come back



Plantation boy

C'mon and get going

Yesterday's chains have broken in two

Plantation boy

The new move is growing

Reaching the hills, the valleys and you

Plantation boy

Plantation boy



Plantation boy

C'mon and get going

Yesterday's chains have broken in two

Plantation boy

The new move is growing

Reaching the hills, the valleys and you

Plantation boy

Plantation boy



Plantation boy

Plantation boy

Wherever you may go



Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...

Reaching the hills and the valleys and you...
