She's coming for you hear the chains rattle Turn you into a slave another piece of chattel Across the seas stormy water Showed no mercy she was Satan's daughter Born to steal with bodies to sell She had her own special Place in hell Clotilda's on Fire Off the Alabama coast Clotilda's on Fire We're Still living with her ghost She took souls on a horrible trip Her morning song was the crack of a whip Ones who survived died a long time ago Most of them buried out at old Plateau But the pain and the memory never go away Her spirits still lives by the shores of the bay Clotilda's on Fire Off the Alabama coast Clotilda's on Fire We're still living with her ghost She was a dirty secret Forgot but not forgiven But the shame was so great She could not stay hidden She's on fire Her flames no longer light up the night Now dreams survive and hope burns bright And people still come from miles around To praise the folks of Africatown Who rose from the ashes of sad history To stand unchained proud and free Clotilda's on Fire Off the Alabama coast Clotilda's on Fire We're still living with her ghost"
