Thread Name: ID Song: I Went down to the rich man's house
Subject: ADD Version: The Rich Man's House
Here's the version submitted to the Rise Again Songbook. A good, rousing activist song.
THE RICH MAN'S HOUSE
Well I went down to the rich man's house & I took back what he [they] stole from me
(Took it back) Took back my dignity
(Took it back) Took back my humanity (repeat)
Now he's - under my feet (x4)
Ain't gonna let the system walk all over me!
