Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHCI HJKLH| The men who greeted our forefathers | A |
| And plundered the treasures of the black soil are here again | B |
| Those men who bound the men of our land | C |
| In fetters to till the strange lands | D |
| And took our maidens to warm their beds have come back | E |
| - | |
| After leaving us in the lurch | F |
| They have returned not with handcuffs | G |
| But with mindcuffs and the bonds of usury | H |

| Our land which overflowed with milk and honey | H |

| There is no more Gold | K |
| Nor Ivory at the Coast | L |
| When will the free slaves be free | H |
