Oh Freedom (original
version)
Oh freedom,
Oh freedom,
Oh freedom over me, over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more mo'nin,
No more mo'nin,
No more mo'nin over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more slavery,
No more slavery,
No more slavery over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more weeping,
No more weeping,
No more weeping over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
There'll be singing,
There'll be singing,
There'll be singing over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
Oh Freedom (1960's
version)
No segregation,
No segregation,
No segregation over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more shooting,
No more shooting,
No more shooting over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No burning churches,
No burning churches,
No burning churches over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more Jim Crow,
No more Jim Crow,
No more Jim Crow over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more Pritchett,
No more Pritchett,
No more Pritchett over me.
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
