Lead Purple

What are the lyrics to the song the railroad workers are singing in "the Color Purple"?

It's about 1 1/2 hours into the movie, soon after Nettie finds Celie's letters. An old man is leading the call-and-response song as the other workers are moving a railroad tie with metal bars.

You need to first narrow down what song it could have been from this list of songs from the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088939/soundtrack

You can listen to music samples here on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A2H8Z8/internetmoviedat/

I'm guessing that it's either:
"High Life"

"Scarification Chant and Katutoku Corinne"
