Harriet Tubman by Eloise Greenfield
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be a slave
And wasn't going to stay one neither
"Farewell!" she sang to her friends one night
she was mighty sad to leave 'em
But she ran away that dark, hot night
Ran lookin' for her freedom
She ran to the woods and sheran through the woods
With the slave satchers right behind her
And she kept on going till she got to the North
Wher those mean men couldn't find her
Nineteen she went back to the South
To get three hundred other
She ran for her freedom nineteen times
To save the Black sisters and brothers
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be a slave
And didn't stay one neither
And didn't stay one neither
