The Devil Himself

I feel horrible about being a slave Day by Day I work For a man that I hate I decide to leave on the Underground Railroad To escape from my master, the Devil himself Get away and hope to be safe I hope to leave on a warm summer day I am waiting for my chance to go I will escape to the north for my freedom My journey takes me to places Places I have never seen before Unfortunately, I can only see these places after dark I face the danger of being caught Being returned to the plantation Where I will be beaten, by the devil The dangers have made me feel unsafe No matter where I go, I am never safe I still can be caught I have help along the way The people who support us The people who leave signals for us to stay I have made it to the north, to freedom I react with a great rejoice Joy, which I have never had before
