1 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.

2 No more moaning, no more moaning,
no more moaning 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.

3 There’ll be singing, there’ll be singing,
there’ll be singing 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.
