It's about the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman, and the various safe houses that the slaves could stay at overnight. It's also about how the slaves were treated by their "owners"

Coolie was a slang term for Chinese immigrants in the 1870s and 1880s, so I'm guessing Coolie Mother is a mother of a Chinese immigrant to the United States.

Coolie refers to a person who is bi-racial: Indian and African.
