My Blood

My Blood
The Neville Brothers

Ja, please come to the crossroads
You can save the children, I know
Ja, please come to the crossroads
Tell them to let the people go now

Ja, go to Mother Africa
Answer this prayer for me
Ja, come to Mother Africa
Set all the people free

That’s my blood down there
Over Mother Africa
My blood down there
That’s my blood down there
Oh yes it is now
That’s my blood down there

Ja, turn your head to Haiti
Please keep the people strong
Ja, please come down to Haiti
Hear my brother’s freedom song

That’s my blood down there
On the island
That’s my blood down there
That’s my blood down there
Help them survive, Ja
That’s my blood down there
Well, well

(A-mam-ba ko-way-tu
Patience, gentlemen)
My-e-boo-yah

Ja send some love to America
For every woman, child, and man
send some to justice to America
Free the blood of the land

That’s my blood down there
On the reservations
That’s my blood down there
All the Indian nations
That’s my blood down there
The first Americans
That’s my blood down there
I wanna help ’em if I can now
That’s my blood down there
All over the world now
That’s my blood down there
All the many many boys and girls now
That’s my blood down there
Over Nicaragua
That’s my blood down there
In El Salvador
That’s my blood down there
