The South was a fearful,
Horrible place to be
Slaves suffered greatly
All wanted to flee
The slaves were auctioned
away from there families
to plantation owners
who whipped them to their knees
At the plantation
the slaves picked cotton
throughout their whole life
they have never forgotten
On their bare skin
the feel of the whip
that's the reason why
they went on this long trip
All the slaves followed
the northern star
they all came to escape
near and also far
They used the " Underground Railway"
that consists of a secret path
slaves would fear throughout their journey
from the plantation owners' rath
They hid during the day
and roamed at night
slave catchers searched
but they were out of sight
As the slaves reached Canada
with their heads held up high
They were now rid of their worries
and let out a relieved sigh
