Can You Run |
| There’s smoke down by the river |
| Hear the cannon and the drums |
| I’ve got one thing to ask you, honey |
| Can you run? |
| You know I hate to ask so late |
| But the moment’s finally come |
| And there won’t be time to change your mind |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run to the freedom line |
| Of the Lincoln soldiers? |
| Where the contraband can be a man |
| With a musket on his shoulder |
| I’ve got to stand up tall before I’m done |
| Wrap these hands of mine around a gun |
| And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run? |
| I’m takin' nothin' with me |
| We’ve just got time to beat the sun |
| And the boys in gray are never far away |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run to the freedom line |
| Of the Lincoln soldiers? |
| Where the contraband can be a man |
| With a musket on his shoulder |
| I’ve got to stand up tall before I’m done |
| Wrap these hands of mine around a gun |
| And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run? |
| There’s smoke down by the river |
| Hear the cannon and the drum |
| Even if I die, I’ve got to try |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run to the freedom line |
| Of the Lincoln soldiers? |
| Where the contraband can be a man |
| With a musket on his shoulder |
| I’ve got to stand up tall before I’m done |
| Wrap these hands of mine around a gun |
| And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run? |
| Can you run? |
