Thread Name: Lyr Req: American Freedom Songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: American Freedom Songs
For those who may be interested, I have posted the words to ten Civil Rights freedom songs on my website:
http://www.cocojams.com/freedom_songs.htm
Those songs are:
Aint Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Round
Certainly, Lord
Hold On {Paul & Silas Bound In Jail}
If You Miss Me At The Back Of The Bus
Lift Every Voice And Sing
No More Auction Block {Many Thousands Gone}
Oh Freedom
We Shall Not Be Moved
We Shall Overcome
Woke Up This Mornin {with my mind stayed on freedom}
--
These are the versions of those songs that I remember singing in Atlantic City, New Jersey 1962-1965.
www.cocojams.com is a place where people of all races & ethnicities can share their memories about the recent & the not so recent past.
This is a work in progress :O)
and your participation will add to that progress. As you will notice from reading the pages at that site, I frequently refer people to Mudcat and the Mudcat threads are listed as a recommended link.
Please let me know what you think.
[BTW, while I can do hyperlinks there, I haven't got the hang of it here yet. I would appreciate if someone would post a hyperlink for my site on this thread.]
Thanks!!
