FREEDOM IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE (The Freedom Singers)

They say that freedom is a constant struggle (x3)
Oh Lord, we've struggled so long
We must be free,(x2)

They say that freedom is a constant crying...
Oh Lord, we've cried so long...

They say that freedom is a constant sorrow...
Oh Lord, we've sorrowed so long...

The say that freedom is a constant moaning...
Oh Lord, we've moaned so long...

They say that freedom is a constant dying...
Oh Lord we've died so long,
We must be free, we must be free

midi soon.

The tune for this song seems to be built on "Wayfaring Stranger."

Here's a recording by Barbara Dane with the Chambers Brothers:
