[00:16.27]Day we arrived we jumped the broom
[00:19.83]Me and my man in that dusty room
[00:23.52]Side by side can't see to can't see
[00:27.25]'Til one week later they took him from me
[00:31.04]His chains shook as they dragged him away
[00:34.90]All my dreams died that day
[00:38.71]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[00:43.00]From across the sea
[00:46.08]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[00:49.47]Still trying to be free
[01:08.77]All day long trying not to slip
[01:12.32]Just to avoid the snap of the whip
[01:16.18]Out to hush harbor the sun red for down
[01:19.86]Everybody prayin' our lips to the ground
[01:23.63]Give us the strength to last one more day
[01:26.87]And we hear you callin' steal away steal away
[01:31.10]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[01:35.44]From across the sea
[01:38.60]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[01:41.89]Still trying to be free
[01:46.18]Praise house shouting clapping to the beat
[01:49.91]Dancing in a circle don't 'cross those feet
[01:53.92]Don't 'cross those feet Gullah
[01:57.41]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[02:01.61]From across the sea
[02:04.87]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[02:08.20]Still trying to be free
[02:27.54]Finally got a home in this strange new land
[02:31.18]Built with blood
[02:32.97]And strong hands
[02:34.84]Now they want to pay for you to go
[02:38.45]Strip you of the only life you known
[02:42.32]But they won't get it no matter how they try
[02:46.06]There's still some things that money can't buy
[02:49.81]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[02:54.21]From across the sea
[02:57.41]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[03:00.66]Still trying to be free
[03:04.92]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[03:09.06]From across the sea
[03:12.36]Gullah Gullah Geechee
[03:15.64]Still trying to be free
[03:19.42]Still trying to be free
[03:23.20]Still trying to be free
