Rutledge: Molasses to rum to slaves, oh what a beautiful waltz You dance with us, we dance with you Molasses and rum and slaves Who sails the ships out of Boston Ladened with bibles and rum? Who drinks a toast to the Ivory Coast? Hail Africa, the slavers have come New England with bibles and rum And its off with the rum and the bibles Take on the slaves, clink, clink Hail and farewell to the smell Of the African coast Molasses to rum to slaves 'Tisn't morals, 'tis money that saves Shall we dance to the sound of the profitable pound In molasses and rum and slaves Who sails the ships out of Guinea Ladened with bibles and slaves? 'Tis Boston can coast to the West Indies coast Jamaica, we brung what ye craves Antigua, Barbados, we brung bibles and slaves! Molasses to rum to slaves Who sail the ships back to Boston Ladened with gold, see it gleam Whose fortunes are made in the triangle trade Hail slavery, the New England dream! Mr. Adams, I give you a toast: Hail Boston! Hail Charleston! Who stinketh the most? Back to main page: 1776 Lyrics
