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
