I've served my master all my days, Without a dime's reward; And now I'm forced to run away, To flee the lash abroad. Farewell, old master, don't think hard of me, I'm on my way to Canada, where all the slaves are free. The hounds are baying on my track, Old master comes behind, Resolved that he will bring me back, Before I cross the line; I'm now embarked for yonder shore, There a man's a man by law; The iron horse will bear me o'er, To shake the lion's paw. Oh, righteous Father, will thou not pity me, And aid me on to Canada, where all the slaves are free. Oh, I heard Queen Victoria say, That if we would forsake Our native land of slavery, And come across the lake; That she was standing on the shore, With arms extended wide, To give us all a peaceful home Beyond the rolling tide Farewell, old master, don't think hard of me, I'm on my way to Canada, where all the slaves are free. @slave @escape American Labor Songs of the Nineteenth Century, Foner Note: according to Foner, "A song well known to runaway slaves..." filename[ TOCANADA play.exe OSUSANNA RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: In Seaport Town, In The Early Morning Rain, In The Good Old Summertime, In The Halls, In The Sidings, In The Sweet By And By, In The Woods There Stand A House, In Vino Veritas, Incest, Incredibly Foolish, India Anthem Text, India Native Anthem Text, Indonesia Anthem Text, Indonesia Native Anthem Text, Innocent Hare, Into The Air, Into The Air Junior Birdmen, Intoxicated Rat, Io Vivat, Ipd, Iq Test, Ira Hayes, Ireland Anthem Text, Ireland Native Anthem Text, Irish Free State, Irish Mail Robber, Irish Rover, Iron Horse, Iron Lady Maggie May, Irving The Rover, Is The By, Is There Anybody Here Like Mary Aweepin, Isle Au Haut Lullaby Hay Ledge Song, Isle Of May, Israel Anthem Text, Israel Native Anthem Text, It Aint Gonna Rain, It Aint Gonna Rain No More, It Came Upon The Midnight Clear, It Must Have Been The Wine, It Pays To Advertise, It Was A Lover And His Lass, Italy Native Anthem Text, Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, Its The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year, Its The Talk Of The Town, Its A Long Long Way To Tipperary, Its A Long Way From Amphioxus, Its A Pleasure To Know You, Its A Shyme, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
