We Shall Be Free

[Chorus : Both, Lead Belly]
In the morning
You shall be free
I done told ya
You Shall be free
I said it
You shall be free
When the good lord sets you free

[Verse 1: Woody Guthrie]
I was down in the henhouse on my knees
Thought I heard the chicken sneeze
Nothing but a rooster saying his prayers
Thanking his god for the poulets upstairs

[Chorus: Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Both ]
He's a'preaching
You shall be free
Taking up collection
You shall be free
Paying off in eggs
You shall be free
Hey
When the good lord sets you free

Now you tell it

[Verse 2: Lead Belly]
Well some folks says time is hard
The preacher says to put your trust in god
[?]
A hog can't run too fast for me

Get him in a hog tie

[Chorus : Both, Lead Belly]
I done told ya
You shall be free
Hog [?]
You Shall bе free
When the good lord sets you free

[Verse 3: Woody Guthrie]
Ain't no usе in me a'workin' so hard
I've got a woman in the rich folks' yard
When they kill a chicken
Sends me the head
She thinks I'm a'workin I'm a layin' up in bed

[Chorus: Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Both ]
Takin it easy
You shall be free
Two other women
You shall be free
I thought she noticed
You shall be free
When the good lord sets you free

Now you tell them

[Verse 4: Lead Belly]
Aw you see that preacher
Sittin on that log
{?} Eyes on the hog

[Chorus : Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly]
[?]
You Shall be free
Getting the hog eye
You shall be free
Getting them chitlins
You Shall be free
I said it
When the good lord sets you free

[Verse 5: Woody Guthrie]
Ain't no use in me a'workin so hard
I got a woman in the rich folks' yard
When they kill a chicken
Sends me the feet
Thinks I'm a'workin I'm a'walkin on the street

[Chorus Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Both]
Havin a [?] time
You shall be free
Havin a good time
You shall be free
Seein the women go by
You shall be free
When the good lord sets you free
