The song, "Song about Life in Virgina" is about a female indentured servant who shows as a glimpse into 5 years of her life while in that time. This woman writes very minimal about what she went through while telling a lot. The woman tells us “Five Years served I, Under master guy, In the land of Virginny, O: which made me for to know, sorrow, grief, and woe”, this one part shows us without explanation that she gave 5 years of her life taking care of this master needs to make his life better to have to live a like of misery for herself. Indentured servants are those who work for a person in return for things like food and shelter and no pay, this woman in this poem shows that through out her time she had to work and live in bad conditions like little food, thin clothing, dirty areas to sleep in, etc. This shows us as readers that these people that were indentured servants gave many years of their lifes to work for these masters which make their lifes easier and better just to have to live in horrible conditions to get food, clothing, and shelter.
