Work Song (Blood on the Fields) Wynton Marsalis (Ft. Cassandra Wilson & Miles Griffith)

[MEN, spoken]
Soon can mean ten minutes, or ten lifetimes. 
Fourteen years of bondage has passed. 

[JESSE]
Mmm

[LEONA]
Mmm hmm

[JESSE]
Liftin' and a-totin'

[LEONA]
Packin' and a-sackin'

[JESSE]
Pickin' and a-hoein'

[LEONA]
Seedin' and a-feedin'

[JESSE]
Plowin' and a-growin'

Mmm hmm, all day long
I raise my head to sky
Beat back down by sun's burning gaze
The field hand's cry
I split my fingers down to the blood again
