Oh, Freedom - lyrics and artform
Oh-o freedom
Oh-o freedom
Oh freedom over me,
(Over me.)
And before I be a slave
I’ll be buried in my grave.
And go home to my Lord and be free.
(and be free)
No segregation
No segregation
No more segregation
Over me
(Over me)
And before I be a slave
I’ll be buried in my grave.
And go home to my Lord and be free.
(and be free.)
No more weepin
No more weepin
No more weepin
Over me
(Over me)
And before I be a slave
I’ll be buried in my grave.
And go home to my Lord and be free.
(and be free.)
No more tommin
No more tommin
No more tommin
Out of me
(Out of me)
And before I be a slave
I’ll be buried in my grave.
And go home to my Lord and be free.
(and be free)
Oh-o freedom.
Oh-o freedom
Oh freedom over me,
(Over me)
And before I be a slave
I’ll be buried in my grave.
And go home to my Lord and be free.
(and be free)
Greetings,
I would like to know who wrote this song? Was it Paul Robeson, I heard the part, “Before I Be A Slave, I’ll Be Buried In My Grave”, and it sounds like Paul Robeson’s Voice, I was curious to know who wrote the piece.
Please Reply, I Thank You For Your Time!

darryl thanks for stopping by
don’t know the exact history but as far as we know ‘oh freedom’ came long before Paul Robeson and the era of recorded music
