Lyrics
I am thinking today 'bout times pa**ed away When they tied me up in bandage long ago In all Virginia state is where we separate And it fills my heart with misery and all They took away my boy, Lord, he was his mother's joy A baby from the cradle, [?] rays Then, they put us far apart, and it broke the old man's heart In those agonizing, cruel slavery days Though they'll never come again Let us give our a praise to Him Who looks down where the little children play Every night and every morn' We'll pray for them, that's gone In those agonizing, cruel slavery days At night, when all is dark, we hear that watch-dog bark And we'll listen to murmurs on the wind It's seemed to say to me, "You, people, you must be free" For the happy times, I come and, Lord, we pray My memory will steal all that dear old cabin floor And in the shadows, I'll find those past away And for them, we'll weep and bloam, for us all [?] In those agonizing, cruel slavery days I'm very old and very feeble now, and my hair is turning gray I have traveled all the roughest kind of roads Through all the toils and sorrows I have reached the end at last Now I'm resting by the west side with my Lord Forget now and forgive, as always, been my guide For that's what the golden scripture says But my memory will turn 'round Back to when I was tied down In those agonizing, cruel slavery days Though they'll never come again Let us give our a praise to Him Who looks down where his little children play Every night and every morn' I'll pray for them, that's gone In those agonizing, cruel slavery days
