We’re here on the sloop Don T
My coconspirators and me
In the Face of Scorn we did roam
In the cusp of the night
We fomented a fight
Fighting for rights, right there on the Sloop Don T
Captured ship, sheets and sails
Sent it’s crew off to jail
Then set sail o’er the Sea of Graft and Greed
Policies depriving people; starving people deep in need
Turmoil, turbulence and chaos were its deeds
The above was my vision, in a dream I’m in prison
And the country was a full dictatorship
I am moved to retell it, hoping we will repel it
Sink the ship my dream had named The Sloop Don T

If it weren’t so sad, it would be funny. Apologies to the Kingston Trio…
