the dirge of st. malo (english) - givonna joseph and kamau lyrics

Loading...

alas! young men, come, make lament
for poor st. malo in distress
they chased, they hunted him with dogs
they fired at him with a gun
they hauled him from the cypress swamp
his arms they tied behind his back
they tied his hands in front of him
they tied him to a horse’s tail
they dragged him up into the town
before those grand cabildo men
they charged that he had made a plot
to cut the throats of all the whites
they asked him who his comrades were
poor st. malo said not a word
thе judge his sentencе read to him
and then they raised the gallows*tree
they drew the horse, the cart moved off
and left st. malo hanging there
the sun was up an hour high
when on the levee he was hung
they left his body swinging there
for carrion crows to feed upon
