Here's another spiritual about determination:

AIN'T GONNA LET NOBODY TURN ME 'ROUN'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'roun'
Turn me 'roun'
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'roun'
I'm gonna wait until my change comes
Don't let nobody turn you 'roun'
Turn you 'roun'
Don't let nobody turn you 'roun'
Wait until your change comes

I say I'm gonna hold out
Hold out, hold out
I say that I'm gonna hold out
Until my change comes

I promised the lord that I would hold out
Hold out
I promised the Lord that I would hold out
Wait until my change comes

The lyrics of this song was slightly changed & sung by Civil Rights marchers in the 1960s. For instance, demonstrators sung "Ain't gonna let segregationist turn me around". I remember another verse that goes "Ain't gonna let Bull Connor turn me around"...If I recall correctly, Bull Conner was an arch segregationist in Alabama [or some other Southern state].

I hope someone is collecting these Civil Rights song...
