Day we arrived we jumped the broom Me and my man in that dusty room Side by side, can't see to can't see 'Til one week later they took him from me Chains shook as they dragged him away All my dreams died that day Gullah Gullah Geechee From across the sea Gullah Gullah Geechee Still trying to be free All day long trying not to slip Just to avoid the snap of the whip Out at Hush Harbor, sun red for down Everybody prayin', our lips to the ground Give us the strength to last one more day And we hear you call, "Steal away, steal away" Gullah Gullah Geechee From across the sea Gullah Gullah Geechee Still trying to be free Praise house shouting, clapping to the beat Dancing in a circle, don't cross those feet Don't cross those feet, Gullah Gullah Gullah Geechee From across the sea Gullah Gullah Geechee Still trying to be free Finally got a home in this strange new land Built with blood and strong hands Now they wanna pay for you to go Strip you of the only life you know But they won't get it, no matter how they try There's still some things that money can't buy Gullah Gullah Geechee From across the sea Gullah Gullah Geechee Still trying to be free Gullah Gullah Geechee From across the sea Gullah Gullah Geechee Still trying to be free Still trying to be free Still trying to be free
