Soul for Sale

[SLAVE BUYER]
What a great day for shoppin'
I can feel money droppin'
People, that's what I'm coppin'
Soul for sale

Checkin' their teeth and hairlines
Pinchin' a buck whose skin shines
Lookin' for brown concubines
Soul for sale

I like my Negroes real
Simple but plentiful of feelin'
Think we can make a deal
Nine hundred! What! Have you lost your mind?
I call that stealin'

What'cha got to make my corn grow?
New pipes for my tobacco
Yes, and let's see that Negro
Soul for sale

Oh, I can't wait to buy some
Let's see 'em skip, hop and run
Darky, let go of that young 'un!
Soul for sale

I like my Negroes real
Simple but plentiful of feelin'
Think we can make a deal?
Nine hundred! What! Have you lost your mind?
I call that stealin'

Picks, hammers, mules, plows, and hoes
A passel of northern dress clothes
Oh, and I'll take those Negroes
Soul for sale
