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 |
