A Few Bags of Grain

After twelve years of feeding

Days spent barely breathing

I'm worth only a few bags of grain

Oh the shame, the shame, the shame

So I'll take me beating

Never once complaining

Oh the shame, oh the shame, the shame

After sixteen years hard labour

He bumped into a neighbour

Who told him about a world gone insane

He said, "I cannot stress any stronger

But you cannot rest on your honour"

The shame, the shame, the shame

She leaves her there sleeping

Hoping that she's dreaming

About a life worth more than a few bags of grain

Oh the shame, oh the shame, the shame

But my spirit will live on

My daughter you will not claim

My spirit will live on

My spirit you can not claim

My daughter you will not claim

Can not claim

You can not claim
