Of A Virginia Slave Mother To Her Daughters Sold Into Southern Bondage	A
	-
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
Where the slave whip ceaseless swings	D
Where the noisome insect stings	D
Where the fever demon strews	D
Poison with the falling dews	D
Where the sickly sunbeams glare	E
Through the hot and misty air	E
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From Virginia's hills and waters	D
Woe is me my stolen daughters	D
	-
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
There no mother's eye is near them	F
There no mother's ear can hear them	F
Never when the torturing lash	G
Seams their back with many a gash	G
Shall a mother's kindness bless them	F
Or a mother's arms caress them	F
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From Virginia's hills and waters	D
Woe is me my stolen daughters	D
	-
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
Oh when weary sad and slow	H
From the fields at night they go	H
Faint with toil and racked with pain	I
To their cheerless homes again	J
There no brother's voice shall greet them	F
There no father's welcome meet them	F
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From Virginia's hills and waters	D
Woe is me my stolen daughters	D
	-
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From the tree whose shadow lay	K
On their childhood's place of play	K
From the cool sprmg where they drank	L
Rock and hill and rivulet bank	L
From the solemn house of prayer	E
And the holy counsels there	E
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From Virginia's hills and waters	D
Woe is me my stolen daughters	D
	-
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
Toiling through the weary day	K
And at night the spoiler's prey	K
Oh that they had earlier died	M
Sleeping calmly side by side	M
Where the tyrant's power is o'er	N
And the fetter galls no more	O
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From Virginia's hills and waters	D
Woe is me my stolen daughters	D
	-
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
By the holy love He beareth	P
By the bruised reed He spareth	P
Oh may He to whom alone	C
All their cruel wrongs are known	C
Still their hope and refuge prove	Q
With a more than mother's love	R
Gone gone sold and gone	B
To the rice swamp dank and lone	C
From Virginia's hills and waters	D
Woe is me my stolen daughters	D
