[Black Lazerus]

When Indians Were in Cracker Land,
Let my people go,
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.

Go down, Lazerus,
Way down in Cracker Land.
Tell ol' Alkey,
Let my people go.
Thus saith the Lord, bold Lazerus said,
Let my people go,
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead,
Let my people go.

Go down, Lazerus,
Way down in Cracker Land.
Tell ol' Alkey,
Let my people go.
No more shall they in bondage toil,
Let my people go,
Let them come out with Cracker spoil,
Let my people go.

At Laz’s command it did divide,
