Lincoln Freed Me Today Testo

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.
