Black Woman, ooh, Black Woman, like me you’ve travelled long
D G D A
You trod one of life's roughest roads, you got the heaviest load
D G D A
To be someone, to belong, too near your mile and a half furlong
D G D A
Don't give up now, just pray for strength now, for you I dedicate my song

La da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da, Dadala da

Woo ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh, Ooh ooh

D G D A
We are forsaked once in the plantation, lashes to our skin
D G D A
On auction blocks we were chained and sold, handled merchandise
D G D A
Highly abused and warmth we were refused and thrown in the garbage bin
D G D A
But no need for that now, free us, stand on back now and help me to sing
my song
[Chorus]
D G D A
La da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da, Dadala da

I heard Rachel mourning for her children when Herod and Pharaoh took
their little heads
D G D A
But like Mary and like Joseph, mother of Moses too
D G D A
Overcame its evil devices, I dedicate my song for you
[Chorus]

La da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da, Dadala da
D G D A
Woo ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh, Ooh ooh
[Verse]
D G D A
Black Woman, ooh, Black Woman, I know you've struggled long
D G D A D G D A
I feel your afflictions, to you I dedicate my song Mmm
[Chorus]
D G D A
La da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da, Dadala da
