I ain't gonna live in this land no more.
You hear me?

1:03:04
The war ain't changed nothing or nobody.
It's a poison soaked into the ground.

1:03:11
They gonna give us nothing.
Not no 40 acres and no mule.

1:03:15
And not freedom, neither.
1:03:17
It's a poison soaked into the ground.
1:03:27
The time is going. I don't wanna spend
my life washing other people's clothes.

1:03:33
I wanna live somewhere with you, Buck,
like natural people.

1:03:36
I wanna have your children...
1:03:38
and raise them someplace
where there ain't a shadow of slavery.

1:03:42
I think about sewing,
making pretty things for my family...

1:03:48
while my hands are still steady.
1:03:57
I wanna go someplace with you, Buck.
1:03:59
I wanna have your children.
1:04:02
But I won't have 'em here.
1:04:05
I am going somewhere...
1:04:10
They won't have us in Canada...
1:04:12
I'll go to the edge of the ocean
and I'll walks on away from here.

1:04:21
Saint Anne Parish folk...
1:04:27
they're heading out there
and they ain't got no food, no seed.

1:04:32
And they starve when the winter come.
1:04:35
Buck, honey, you just one man.
1:04:38
But I gave my word.
1:04:51
Eat your food.
1:04:59
I'll go see about the horses.
