A tug comes on the wire
Judy calls me now
She says my land is useless
And I need some kind of plow
She's my kinda driver
She's my kinda driver
I'm up standing straight away
I'm ready for my toil
I feel the whip cracking on my back
As I dig into her soil
She's my kinda driver
She's my kinda driver
I'm burning up her cane
I'm threshing in her barn
She beats me at my business
Until I'm breaking down
I'm working way too hard
I never get to save
But I don't mind, I don't mind
I'm a happy slave
ย
When my work is done
I'm ready to explode
Suddenly I'm flying away
She takes my heavy load
She's my kinda driver
She's my kinda driver
I'm tending to her flock
I'm burning up her cane
I never can refuse her
And I never complain
I'm working way too hard
I never get to save
But I don't mind, I don't mind
I'm a happy slave
I'm a happy slave
I'm a happy slave
ย
I'm a happy slave
She's my kinda driver
I'm a happy slave
She's my kinda driver
I'm a happy slave
She's my kinda driver
I'm a happy slave
She's my kinda driver
