[If the wind contrary blows]
If the wind contrary blows,
Let it blow!
If we are oppressed by foes,
Meet the foe!
Let us stand and plead like men;
Our homes and rights defend;
To our fate we'll say, Amen,
E're we go.
Let it blow!
If we are oppressed by foes,

Let us stand and plead like men;
Our homes and rights defend;
To our fate we'll say, Amen,
E're we go.
Though the white man still may rule,
Let him rule!
Though they make our race a tool,
Just keep cool.
There's a mighty unseen hand
Working now throughout the land,
Bringing “equal rights to man;”
Through our schools.
Let him rule!
Though they make our race a tool,
Just keep cool.
There's a mighty unseen hand
Working now throughout the land,
Bringing “equal rights to man;”
Through our schools.

[If you have an axe and hoe]
If you have an axe and hoe,That's enough, get up and go;
All the discipline needed now,
Is to plant the cottonseed.
When you want supplies of meat,
Pick the cocoa-nuts and eat,
This is all you ought to know—
Nigger, pack your rags and go.
