The lyrics 'Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women just around midnight'

I can see how those lyrics seem to point to an aspect of slavery.  However, I can also imagine some reasons for interpreting them differently, so it sounds like we need to do a bit of digging to try to find out what this song actually is about.

What else could it be about if those are the lyrics?
