Been walkin thm field fo so long Lord

Got me a right on the unta groun  railroad
So I got away, yet still I pray
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
I be free ooh, ooh wee
So now I qit a chance 
This is y na I wanna dance
Been walkin thm field fo so long Lord

Got blisters on my toes and heels
Shoes dun torn worn down ta mi arch, Lord
And I’m walkin
