lyrics

The Salt Mines of Zanzibar
Copyright © 2003, 2017 John Trubee

Thanks to three bitches
I'll soon be digging ditches
Beneath the blazing sun

Thanks to three bitches
I'll soon be scratching itches
From the bedbug's bites

And thanks to three bitches
I'm losing all my riches
That I slaved for son long

But I'll never return
To the salt mines of Zanzibar

Thanks to three bitches
I'm crawling on the outside
To Hell again

Thanks to three bitches
I've dreaded every morning
On the busride to work

And thanks to three bitches
The strong are whipped down
For the weaklings to rise

But I'll never return
To the salt mines of Zanzibar


Boy, heave that hammer down
Boy, haul that heavy load
And when the twilight sun descends
You'll have no time to live


Thanks to three bitches
I hawked my family heirlooms
To the pawnshop man

Thanks to three bitches
I sleep beneath bridges
And stand in soup lines now

And thanks to three bitches
I push a shopping cart
Filled with aluminum cans

But I'll never return
To the salt mines of Zanzibar


Boy, heave that hammer down
Boy, haul that heavy load
And when the twilight sun descends
You'll have no time to live
