Lots of people walk about proud and free,
Lift up your head start looking around,
There's a brandnew feeling of liberty,
Like a clear bell that's starting to sound.
Plantation Boy,
C'mon and get going,
Yesterday's chains have broken in two.
Plantation Boy,
The new move is growing,
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you,
Plantation Boy,
Plantation Boy.
Lots of smiling faces for you to meet,
So many hands to help you along,
Just shake off the mud that weighs down your feet,
If you stand tall
You just can't go wrong.
Plantation Boy,
C'mon and get going,
Yesterday's chains have broken in two.
Plantation Boy,
The new move is growing,
Reaching the hills, the valleys and you,
Plantation Boy,
Plantation Boy.
Years of picking cotton for little pay,
Living alone in some wooden shack
Sweating in the heat of a summer's day,
This is all over, you won't come back.
[2x:]
Plantation Boy,
C'mon and get going,
Yesterday's chains have broken in two.
Plantation Boy,
The new move is growing,
Reaching the hills, the valleys and you,
Plantation Boy,
Plantation Boy.
Plantation Boy,
Plantation Boy,
Wherever you may go.
Reaching the hills and the valleys and you... [11x]
