Many Thousand Gone
by Anonymous
Many Thousand Gone was a popular African-American song during the Civil War, sung by slaves fleeing plantations and heading to the Union Army camps.
No more auction block for me, No more, no more; No more auction block for me, Many thousand gone. No more peck of corn for me, No more, no more; No mroe peck of corn for me, Many thousand gone. No more driver's lash for me, No more, no more; No more driver's lash for me, Many thousand gone. No more pint o' salt for me, No more, no more; No more pint o' salt for me, Many thousand gone. No more hundred lash for me, No more, no more; No more hundred lash for me, Many thousand gone.
