Whiteman's Ballad Lyrics

Moriarty Whiteman's Ballad

I saw the whiteman coming
he gets off his plane
he gets in his land-rover
and heads from the mines

I saw the whiteman coming
coming to steal
and to rape
and he calls it business

I saw the black man waiting
ready to rob his brothers
and to give away his sisters
for a couple of US dollars

I saw the black nurses wondering
wondering why
they keep sending all these white nurses
to take away their jobs

I saw Art and Tom coming
they get off the train
They're all geared up to record
and they're kind of insane

I saw the white girls coming
coming to get
what they can't get at home
it's cheap it's fun
and it don't last too long

I saw the businessmen coming
Cheatin’ on their wives
With underage girls
Buzzing around their hives
I saw you coming back a year ago
Won't you please tell me more
all about your voyage
all the things that you did

de parolesJimmy Private Lily Cottonflower Fireday
Lovelinesse Motel Whiteman's ballad Animals can't laugh
Tagono-Ura Jaywalker
all the people you met

Now I wanna know
my blue eyed son
all the cars that you drove
all the girls you've been fooling around with

I saw the whiteman coming
coming to steal
and to rape
and he calls it business

I saw you coming back a year ago
