Doan' you hyeah me preachin', Chillun in de valley? Doan' you hyeah me 'spoundin', Chillun in de valley? Freedom sh's a comin' In de Savior's keeridge, Ah kin hyeah it shoutin' F'um de mouf ob cannons; Oh, de robes am whituh Dan de light ob mawnin' Oh, de songs am sweetuh Dan de banjo's tummin', Mighty am de gethrin' Ob de wounded chillun, Mighty am de buhstin' F'um de th'oats ob singuhs. Git yo' clo's a-ready, Cleah yo' cotton patches, Set yo' feet a-dancing' In de Gospel mannah, Ah kin hyeah de blowin' Ob de golden trumpets. Freedom's hitched huh hosses An' she's drawin' nighuh. Bury all yo' troubles, Bury all yo' grievin's, God hab hyeahed yo' prayin' -- Freedom's in de whirlwind, An' we's in de valley. |
