Poetry
Harriet Tubman
by Eloise Greenfield
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave
And wasn't going to stay one either
"Farewell!" she sang to her friends one night
She was mighty sad to leave 'em
But she ran away that dark, hot night
Ran looking for her freedom
She ran to the woods and she ran through the
woods
With the slave catcher right behind her
And she kept on going till she got to the North
Where those mean men couldn't find her
Nineteen times she went back South
To get three hundred others
She ran for her freedom nineteen times
To save black sisters and brothers
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave
And didn't stay one either
And didn't stay one either

Wade In The Water AUDIO
Because many slaves knew the secret meanings of these songs, they could be used to signal
many things. Harriet Tubman used the song “Wade in the Water” to tell escaping slaves to get
off the trail and into the water to make sure the dogs slavecatchers used couldn’t sniff out
their trail. People walking through water did not leave a scent trail that dogs could follow.
The words of "Wade in the Water."
Chorus: Wade in the Water, wade in the water children.
Wade in the Water. God's gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
