George, what you are looking for is Singing the Spirit Home.

Notes:
[1992:] Written 1986. - A true story about a young black man being executed in a South African prison a few years ago. As they dragged him along the corridor to the gallows, all the other black men from their cells in the prison, started to sing a freedom song to him. It must have been the last sound he heard as they hung him. (Notes 'The Eric Bogle Songbook 2')

I've done some looking around, and can't locate this. I heard part of a chorus on the radio, and they had said it was Eric Bogle.

The chorus had a line that seemed (as near as I can recollect when I got to some paper) to be "Freedom makes slaves of us all".

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
