1
Been a slave most all my life
2
So's my kids, and so's my wife
3
I've been working on the Colonel's farm
4
Ain't been mistreated, ain't done no harm
5
I'll be a slave to my grave
6
No need of me being free
7
Recollect when I was just fourteen
8
Freedom used to be my biggest dream
9
I'm older now, lot wiser too
10
If I was free what would I do
11
The Colonel's been right good to me
12
He's taken care of my family
13
The Colonel rode the buggy in from town
14
Hitched the horse and called us all around
15
Said he couldn't keep us here no more
16
I saw a tear as he walked toward the door
17
Oh Dear God, what did he say?
18
Now I am free to go my way
