"Throw your skinny body down, son"But I'm going to meet the one I love
So please don't stand in my way

"Throw your white body down"But I'm going to meet the one I love
At last, at last, at last
I'm going to meet the one I love
La de da, la de da
No, Mama, let me go
No, no, no

Then it meant that you were a protest singer

No, Mama, let me goNo, no, no
