Let me tell you the hard luck story |
|
About a man named jack mcduff |
|
He believed in god and glory |
|
But he just wasn't tough enough |
|
I believe in the freedom song |
|
Long live liberty! |
|
I believe in the freedom song |
|
I'll choose my own destiny |
|
Well they took him and they beat him |
|
Underneath the old hanging tree |
|
Saying, "jack, you must die" |
|
"what will your last words be?" |
|
Jack, he hung his head back |
|
"long live liberty!" |
|
"i believe in the freedom song" |
|
"doesn't matter what you do to me" |
|
With a rope around his neck they left him hanging |
|
High on that old hanging tree |
|
On her knees his wife was screaming |
|
"lord have mercy, lord have mercy" |
|
I believe in the freedom song |
|
Long live liberty! |
|
I believe in the freedom song |
|
Doesn't matter what you do to me |
