Jerry Silverman's book SLAVE SONGS gives this number a twist in a final verse. After the parts about the promises of the "master" and "mistress," the story concludes:

Yes, they both done promised me
But their papers didn't set me free
A dose of [poison] helped them along
May the devil preach their funeral song

Raise a ruckus tonight!
