Pura Fé - Red Black On Blues lyrics

rate me

Oh Afrika washed up chains on these shores<br />

Sailed Indians back over to the Ole Ivory Door<br />

The trade of these stolen people from these very stolen lands, <br />

Was a stolen tribal trade connection, song and paddle, sand to sand<br />

<br />

Red and Black shared the trade water ten thousand years long before<br />

Anglo-Spanish slave ships learned the magic current flow, shore to shore<br />

Ancestral path wind songs, followed star, sun and moon<br />

Mapped cross these waters to the crossroads of Red, Black on Blues<br />

<br />

Chorus (Tuscarora canoe song and Amazing Grace)<br />

<br />

N'awleans, Mardi Gras Indian, Delta fife and drums of Yazoo<br />

Chicago, Texas, Piedmont, field hollerin, chain gang paying dues<br />

Dixie, Jazz, Rock-n-Roll, Rhythm and Blue suede shoes<br />

Tears that trail the railroad under and war clubs of Baton Rouge<br />

<br />

Cry Bee Bee, Hendrix and Jessie Ed's guitar croon<br />

Carries the voice of the Indian War Song and Stomp Dance tune<br />

Back to the old soul connection, paved the way by ancient canoes<br />

The call of Afrika singing them ancient Blues
