OH FREEDOM!

(trad. African American)

Oh freedom, oh freedom, 
oh freedom over me

	And before I'd be a slave 
	I'll be buried in my grave
	And go home to my Lord and be free

No more weepin', no more weepin', 
no more weepin'over me

	And before I'd be a slave ...
	
No more weeping, no more weeping, 
no more weeping over me

	And before I'd be a slave ...
	
Oh freedom, oh freedom, 
oh freedom over me

	And before I'd be a slave ...
	
There'll be singin', there'll be singin', 
there'll be singin' over me

	And before I'd be a slave ...
	
There'll be glory, there'll be glory, 
there'll be glory over me

	And before I'd be a slave ...
	
Oh freedom, oh freedom, 
oh freedom over me

	And before I'd be a slave ...
