| [00:07.47] |
Yep |
| [00:14.57] |
This one's called "Alabama 69" |
| [00:18.59] |
I come from Alabama and I work a ten pound hammer |
| [00:24.13] |
And my woman's picking cotton for the bossman on the hill |
| [00:31.63] |
They work us till they break our back |
| [00:36.18] |
Beat us cos our skin is black |
| [00:39.36] |
I guess I'll have to slave till the whip is in the grave |
| [00:45.92] |
Yeah, when will we be free |
| [00:52.17] |
I wanna walk down any road |
| [00:56.72] |
And feel I have my liberty |
| [01:00.86] |
Well, from day to day I live to die |
| [01:05.60] |
The scars across my back don't lie |
| [01:09.38] |
Ain't there anyone out there |
| [01:13.03] |
To hear my freedom cry |
| [01:36.46] |
Well, I believe a man's a man who earns his pay as best he can |
| [01:42.36] |
The colour of his skin don't mean he ain't just like you |
| [01:50.11] |
Yeah, but white folk here don't give a hell |
| [01:54.49] |
They think that we were born to smell |
| [01:59.43] |
Of sweat and dust and dirt |
| [02:01.32] |
Or plough until we die |
| [02:04.77] |
Hallelujah |
| [02:28.62] |
Let me hear you now |
| [02:29.23] |
When will we be free |
| [02:29.84] |
I wanna walk down any road |
| [02:30.53] |
And feel I have my liberty |
| [02:31.29] |
These shoes I'm wearing every day |
| [02:32.39] |
Got holes the size of Frisco Bay |
| [02:33.19] |
I'm praying for the time |
| [02:33.96] |
When there will come a judgement day |
| [03:04.66] |
Let me play you some lead here |
| [03:08.73] |
Ooh, ooh |
| [03:09.34] |
Well, we all know how long it is since Lincoln made those promises |
| [03:11.14] |
That one day we would walk along the white side of the street |
| [03:19.92] |
Now, but there were some bad folk around |
| [03:22.57] |
That got so riled they shot him down |
| [03:26.58] |
And there ain't a cop in town |
| [03:29.40] |
Who wouldn't do the same for me |
| [03:35.14] |
Yeah, now, when will we be free |
| [03:41.30] |
I wanna walk down any road |
| [03:43.57] |
And feel I have my liberty |
| [03:48.96] |
Well, now, now |
| [03:52.27] |
When will we be free |
| [03:54.37] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [03:56.53] |
When will we be free |
| [04:00.10] |
Ooh, yeah |
| [04:02.83] |
When will we be free |
| [04:09.70] |
Well, now, now |
| [04:11.02] |
When will we be free |
| [04:16.33] |
Well, now, now, now, now |
| [04:18.64] |
When will we be free-acap |
| [04:24.25] |
