Every time that I remember the old slavery days My little heart cries out Oh I wish that one day I will walk down freedom street Let me be I don't want to live in misery Why can't you see That even the prisoners got to be free Whip flush on my back And strings around my feet I work in the burning sun Until the tears and the sweat stains my face Freedom street! Freedom street! Freedom street! Freedom street! Come take my hands I want to drop it to you Come take my hands, say, just as the conqueror Come take my hand Whip flush on my back And strings around my feet I work in the burning sun Until the tears and the sweat stains my face Freedom street! Freedom street! Freedom street! Freedom street! Come take my hands I want to drop it to you Come take my hands, say, just as the conqueror Come take my hand Natty Dread a the conqueror Come take my hand Freedom street! Yeah! Freedom street! Come take my hands, say, just as the conqueror
