Spiritual Trilogy: Oh Freedom / Come and Go With Me / I'm on My Way Songtext
von Odetta

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

Come and go with me
That land, come and go with me to that land
Go with me to that land
Where I′m bound
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 bound
There's no kneeling in that land
There′s no kneeling in that land
No kneeling in 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
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

Oh, gonna ask my brother
Won′t you come with me?
Oh, and ask my brother
Won′t you go with me?
I'm gonna ask my brother
Oh won′t you go with me?
I'm on my way
Thank God, I′m on my way

Oh, 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
Oh, to let me go
I'm on my way
Thank God, I′m on my way

If he says no, no, no-no, no
I′m gonna go anyhow
If he says no
I'll go anyhow
And if he says no
Well I′ll go anyhow
I'm on my way
Thank God, I′m on my way
I'm on my way, I′m on my way
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
