We Shall Be Free Songtext

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 the 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
Got some cl's f'n, you shall be free
When the good Lord sets you free

(now listen to me)
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


Well the preacher′s house, 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 that 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 hog tie, 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

Here′s a precha', 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, b′l
He jumped on 'er with all o′ his will
Put all the gold and put a hundred on the rail
How that hog gets out nobody tell
Here come the hog step, you shall be free
I don't care, you shall be free
Forget about the gilda′, you shall be free
When the good Lord sets you free
