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!!
