Lincoln Freed Me Today (The Slave) |
| Been a slave most all my life |
| So’s my kids, and so’s my wife |
| I’ve been working on the Colonel’s farm |
| Ain’t been mistreated, ain’t done no harm |
| I’ll be a slave to my grave |
| No need of me being free |
| Recollect when I was just fourteen |
| Freedom used to be my biggest dream |
| I’m older now, lot wiser too |
| If I was free what would I do |
| The Colonel’s been right good to me |
| He’s taken care of my family |
| The Colonel rode the buggy in from town |
| Hitched the horse and called us all around |
| Said he couldn’t keep us here no more |
| I saw a tear as he walked toward the door |
| Oh Dear God, what did he say? |
| Now I am free to go my way |
