Spiritual Trilogy Songtext
von Odetta

Oh freedom, oh freedom, oh freedom over me
And before I′d be a slave I'll be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free

No more mourning, no more mourning, no more mourning over me
And before I′d be a slave I'll be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free

Oh freedom, oh freedom, oh freedom over me
And before I'd be a slave I′ll be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free

Come and go with me to that land
come and go with me to that land
go with me to that land where I′m bound

There's no kneeling in that land
there′s no kneeling in that land
no kneeling in that land where I'm born

There′s no kneeling in that land
there's no kneeling in that land
no kneeling in that land where I′m born


Why don't you come and go with me to that land
come and go with me to that land
go with me to that land where I'm bound

Won′t you come and go with me to that land
come and go with me to that land
go with me to that land where I′m bound

I'm on my way and I won′t turn back
I'm on my way and I won′t turn back
I'm on my way and I won′t turn back
I'm on my way, thank god I'm on my way

Gonna ask my brother, won′t you come with me, gonna ask my brother, aren′t you going with me?
I'm gonna ask my brother, won′t you go with me?
I'm on my way, thank God, I′m on my way.

Gonna ask my captain, won't you let me go?
Ask my captain, won′t you let me go?
I'm gonna ask my captain, won't you let me go?
I′m on my way, thank God, I′m on my way.

If he says no no no no, I'm gonna go anyhow,
if he says no, I′m gonna go anyhow.
And if he says no, gonna go anyhow,
I'm on my way, thank God, I′m on my way.
