Slave Songs

Work Songs

• Slaves needed something to do in the fields. 
• They were in the fields from sunrise to sunset.
•  They would sing what they call work songs to keep themselves alert and entertained, but also to   call attention to one another. 
• These songs tell stories of how the slaves feel at that moment.  They also tell stories from back home.  Since the songs just sung out in the fields they were never written down.
