FREE AT LAST

CHORUS
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last!
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last!

One of these mornings bright and fair,
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last!
I'm gonna put on my wings and try the air,
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last!

Old Satan's mad because we're glad,
Thank God a'mighty, we're free at last!
He missed a crowd he thought he had,
Thank God a'mighty, we're free at last!

I wonder what old Satan's grumblin''bout,
Thank God a'mighty, we're free at last!
'Cause he's chained in hell, and can't get out,
Thank God a'mighty, we're free at last!
