It was the eighteen hundred years, when they brought
From Africa to black slaves of wealthy whites
They had no right to anything they were mistreated, raped
And impaled, for disobedience to what they came to
Impose, the same was for the Indians who lived in America bis

She was a slave, a very beautiful black woman, she was only eighteen
Years old, he was a twenty-three-year-old black, they fell in love and felt love
As few could have, but tragedy haunted them
With the master of the two, he was a somewhat sadistic man, who he believed
That the black and the Indian were just animals

It was the eighteen hundred years, when they brought
From Africa to black slaves of wealthy whites
They had no right to anything they were mistreated, raped
And impaled, for disobedience to what they came to
Impose, the same was for the Indians who lived in America bis

One night when he was sleeping, the master came to the black
And in an act of lust to the black he raped, the black reached
Hear the screams, and where she went, when she saw what she was
Passing the black to her, I love him with a blow and this I defuse his gun and shoot
The murderers, the blacks only asked San Benito who was one of their
Deity who already had mercy on them, and this is heard among the
Blacks when they take the saint out for a walk

Mercy lord, mercy, mercy lord, mercy
Mercy lord, mercy, mercy lord, mercy
Mercy lord, mercy, mercy lord, mercy
Mercy lord, mercy, mercy lord, mercy
Mercy lord, mercy, mercy lord, mercy
