Ain’t No Harm to Moan (Slave Song) Earth, Wind & Fire

Oooh
Gonna take a trip this evening
Gonna go way back home
Gonna look at your past this evening

Listen to me, the slaves talkin', talkin' 'bout

Early in the morning
And it's just before dawn
Pretty soon

Gotta put my old cotton sack on, talkin' 'bout

I've been workin'
All day long
So I sit down
Wrote myself a song

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no

Sun is shining
Pretty hard down on my black skin
Noon day sun
Wears a man's patience thin
I gotta understand
That I'm not alone
Gotta be tough, y'all
Ain't no harm to moan
