Tradin´ Lyrics

The talk was sweet: just come with me

I'll give you work across the sea

I'll make you rich, just step in here

The trap was closing then and there

Tradin´

Ain't no sweet when you're tradin ´

Your body and soul

So far away from home

So far away from your mothers stove

Young and poor with dreams of gold

She took a job - but she got sold

Her muffled mouth and covered eyes

He makes his business between her thighs

Tradin´

Ain't no sweet when you're tradin ´

Your body and soul

So far away from home

So far away from your mothers stove

Far away in cold and snow

Silent men, they pay and go

Here's no future, here's no hope

He takes the cash and gives her dope

Tradin´

Ain't no sweet when you're tradin´

Your body and soul

So far away from home

So far away from your mothers stove

Do you know who cries next door?

A kidnapped girl? A slaving whore?

Far away in unknown lands

All her dreams turned into sand

Tradin´

Ain't no sweet when you're tradin´

Your body and soul

So far away from home

So far away from your mothers stove

Tradin´

Ain't no sweet when you're tradin

Your body and soul

So far away from home

So far away from your mothers stove
