Border Song

ARETHA FRANKLIN

Border Song

Holy Moses, I have been removed,
I have seen the spectre, he was been here too,
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain’t my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived,
Now the wind has changed direction and I’ll have to leave
Won’t you please excuse my frankness but it’s not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived

I’m going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain’t abused
I can’t take any more bad water
I’ve been poisoned from my head down to my shoes

Holy Moses, I have been deceived.

Holy Moses, let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There’s a man over there,
What’s his colour I don’t care
He’s ny brother let us live in peace
He’s ny brother let us live in peace
He’s ny brother let us live in peace
