I don't know what grade level you are looking at but here is one I like --Harriet Tubman by Eloise Greenfield
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave
And wasn't going to stay one either
"Farewell!" she sang to her friends one night
She was mighty sad to leave'em
But she ran away that dark, hot night
Ran looking for her freedom
She ran to woods and she ran through the woods
With the slave catchers right behind her
And she kept on going til she got to the NOrth Where those mean men couldn't find her
Nineteen times she went back South
To get three hundred others
She ran for her freedom nineteen times
To save black sisters and brothers
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave
And didn't stay one either
And didn't stay one either
