We Shall Be Free - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)
Written by：Huddie Ledbetter
We shall be free
In the mornin' you shall be free 'fore day
You shall be free hear me say you shall be free
I was down in the hen house other night awful dark
I didn't have no light I reached for a chicken
I got me a goose
A man come out I had to turn him loose
I jumped a gully you shall be free
I jumped a rose bush you shall be free
You shall be free when the good lord sets you free
Preacher an' a rooster had a terr'ble fight
Preacher knocked the rooster clean out o' sight
Preacher told the rooster that'll be all right
Meet ya at the hen house tomorrow night
You shall be free in the mornin'
You shall be free
You know rooster you shall be free
When the good lord sets you free
I's down in the hen house on my knees
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze
Only a rooster sayin' his prayers
Thankin' his god for the hens upstairs
Here's the preacher you shall be free
He's a- singin'
You shall be free takin' up c'llection
You shall be free
When the good lord sets you free
Oh some folks says times is hard
Preacher says put your trust in god matter no diff'rence
Don't you see a hog can't run too fast for me
Gettin' that you shall be free gettin' that hogeye
You shall be free eatin' up chitt'lin's
You shall be free
When the good lord sets you free
As some people say a preacher won't steal
I
Caught two down in my corn fiel'
One had a bushel other had a peck
Other'n had a roastin' ear down his neck
You shall be free gettin' roastin' ears
You shall be free gettin' dried corn
You shall be free
When the good lord sets you free
Oh the gun said boom an' the hog said
Jumped on 'er with all o' his will
How that hog gets
You shall be free I don't care
You shall be free forget about
You shall be free when the good lord sets you free
