Lincoln Freed Me Today (The Slave)
Baez Joan

Baez Joan

Blessed Are...

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 use to be my biggest dream

I´m older now, lot wiser too

If I was free what would I do

The Colones 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?

Lincoln freed me today.


David Patton
