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

No more mourning
No more mourning
No more mourning 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

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
