Hunting Africans In 1754

 作者:陈国雄

Hunting Africans

Is genteel English employment

Human chains, bolts and shackles

Weigh down my slave ship

Hunting Africans

I, John Newton,

Live my life as God and providence decrees

My Christian Lord saw fit

To appoint me

Captain of a slave ship

Docked in Liverpool

By the Irish Sea

Hunting Africans

Ready to set sail

My rough neck crew eager to hunt

Our next port, Sierra Leone

A dangerous journey

We proudly accept

As our Christian Lord command

Hunting Africans

Will bring us great wealth

Plucking Human Black Gold

From a Gold Coast south
