We Shall Be Free |
| In the mornin' you shall be free |
| 'Fore day you shall be free |
| Hear me say you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
| I was down in the hen house other night |
| Awful dark, I didn’t have no light |
| I reached for a chicken, I got me a goose |
| A man come out, I had to turn him loose |
| I jumped a gully you shall be free |
| I jumped a rose bush you shall be free |
| you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
| Preacher an' a rooster had a terr’ble fight |
| Preacher knocked the rooster clean out o' sight |
| Preacher told the rooster that’ll be all right |
| Meet ya at the hen house tomorrow night |
| you shall be free |
| In the mornin' you shall be free |
| You know, rooster, you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
| I’s down in the hen house on my knees |
| I thought I heard a chicken sneeze |
| Only a rooster sayin' his prayers |
| Thankin' his God for the hens upstairs |
| Here’s the preacher you shall be free |
| He’s a-singin' you shall be free |
| Takin' up c’llection you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
| Oh, some folks says times is hard |
| Preacher says put your trust in God |
| Matter no diff’rence, don’t you see |
| A hog can’t run too fast for me |
| Gettin' that you shall be free |
| Gettin' that hogeye you shall be free |
| Eatin' up chitt’lin’s you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
| As some people say, a preacher won’t steal |
| I caught two down in my corn fiel' |
| One had a bushel, other had a peck |
| Other’n had a roastin' ear down his neck |
| you shall be free |
| Gettin' roastin' ears you shall be free |
| Gettin' dried corn you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
| Oh, the gun said boom an' the hog said |
| jumped on 'er with all o' his will |
| how that hog gets |
| you shall be free |
| I don’t care you shall be free |
| Forget about you shall be free |
| When the good Lord sets you free |
