Testi musica canzoni

Been a slave most all my life
soīs my kids and soīs my wife
Iīve been working on the Colonelīs farm
Ainīt been mistreated, ainīt done no harm
Iīll be a slave to my grave
No need of me being free.

Recollect when I was just fourteen
Freedom use to be my biggest dream
Iīm older now, lot wiser too
If I was free what would I do
The Colones right good to me
Heīs taken care of my family.

The Colonel rode the buggy in from town
Hitched the horse and called us all around
Said he couldnīt keep us here no more
I saw a tear as he walked toward the door
Oh Dear God, what did he say?
Lincoln freed me today.
