Текст (слова) песни: Joan Baez - Lincoln Freed Me Today (The Slave)
Been a slave most all my life So`s my kids, and so`s my wife I`ve been working on the Colonel`s farm Ain`t been mistreated, ain`t done no harm I`ll be a slave to my grave No need of me being free
Recollect when I was just fourteen Freedom used to be my biggest dream I`m older now, lot wiser too If I was free what would I do The Colonel`s been right good to me He`s taken care of my family
The Colonel rode the buggy in from town Hitched the horse and called us all around Said he couldn`t keep us here no more I saw a tear as he walked toward the door Oh Dear God, what did he say? Now I am free to go my way
