Sojourner Truth (Ain’t I a Woman?)

[Chorus]
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?

[Verse 1]
I can bear the lash, I have borne the lash
When none but Jesus heard me
I borne thirteen children, seen most of them sold
Sold off into slavery

[Chorus]
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?

[Verse 2]
I can work as much and I can eat as much
As any man can when I can get it
I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns
And look at me, I'm a woman

[Chorus]
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?

[Bridge]
If the very first woman turned the world upside down
Then all of them woman together
Can put this world back right side up
Then the men just better let 'em

[Verse 3]
There's a man over there says shut my mouth
'Cause Christ was not a woman
I got only one question for that man
Where did your Christ come from?

[Verse 4]
He came from a woman
He came from a woman
He came from God and a woman and there weren't no man
Man didn't have a thing to do with it

[Chorus]
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman said Sojourner Truth, ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman?
Ain't I a woman?
