Side One
We're slaves
I want all...to sing "go tell it on the mountain"
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Oh freedom
I know that there are those who will be critical
Walked with Paul and Silas
And you know what happened in Poplarville
Certainly Geroge Green and MacArthur Cotton
Say, gimme a gun.
Well, uh, i lives here, and gone die here.
Say we want our freedom
You can send us to the state penitentiary
Ain't scared of your jails
Everybody seemed to have that shine in their face of liberation
Did you hear her say how that little 15-year-old girl suffered?
These are the things that we're about tired of
This little light of mine
Side Two
Come on join us
Wade in the water
You cna pray until you faint
Have you got good religion
But we told them about Greenwood
And it's no need of runnin
You're not too old, and you're not too young
Tis that freedom train acomin
They put fourteen of us in a six-by-eight cell
Policemen grabbed me
They bear McNair unconcious
Al of a sudden we heard people scream
People were just runnin
That night, jailer went out and got about for or five state troopers
That Tuesday when they had our trial
And we sat there during the trial
Oh Lordy, oh Lord, we need you right now
We're down here in a lard where we need You
Early, I said early
God is not pleased
Now you can tell him
Th white people in this country by and large
We believe that it is better to love than to hate
One man one vote
Three hundred years same thing
Shoot a nigger and watch him run
We'll never turn back
They's gone
And you can tell every white man
Ain't gonna let nobody, lordy, turn me round
