Subject: Lyr Req: Protest song: oppression, import sugar
I’ve been trying to remember a song – the topic was the importing of luxury goods such as sugar, tea, etc., and how that worldwide trading came from oppression and slavery. The style was that of a folk / protest song.

Faith used to occasionally sing it at the San Francisco Folk Club song circles. I can’t actually remember the lyrics (nor the tune), but I’ll recognize it if I see or hear it.

Thanking y’all in advance!
