Lyrics:

Oh freedom, oh freedom, oh freedom over me
And before I'd be a slave I'll be buried in a my grave
And go home to my lord and be free

No more mourning, no more mourning, no more mourning over me
And before I'd be a slave I'll be buried in a my grave
And go home to my lord and be free 

No more crying, no more crying, no more crying over me
And before I'd be a slave I'll be buried in a my grave
And go home to my lord and be free

Oh freedom, oh freedom, oh freedom over me
And before I'd be a slave I'll be buried in a my grave
And go home to my lord and be free

There'll be singin', there'll be singin', there'll be singin' over me
And before I'd be a slave I'll be buried in a my grave
And go home to my lord and be free

Oh freedom, oh freedom, oh freedom over me 
And before I'd be a slave I'll be buried in a my grave
And go home to my lord and be free
