BEFORE
I’D BE A SLAVE (OH, FREEDOM)
from
« Old Plantation Hymns »
by
William E. Barton, 1899
Before
I’d be a slave
I’d
be buried in my grave
And
go home to my Lord
And
be saved
O,
what preachin’!
O,
what preachin’!
O,
what preachin’ over me, over me
O,
what mourning…
O,
what singing…
O,
what shouting…
O,
weeping Mary…
Doubting
Thomas…
O,
what sighing
O,
Freedom…
