Freedom Medley

I woke up this mornin' with my mind, set on freedom
I woke up this mornin' with my mind, set on freedom
I woke up this mornin' with my mind, set on freedom
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelu, hallelu
I woke up this mornin' with my mind on freedom, hallelu
I'm singing - oh freedom, oh freedom, (oh freedom now)
Oh freedom over me
And before I'll be a slave
I'll be buried in my grave
And I'll go home to my lord and I'll be free.
This train, she's bound for glory, this train
This train, she's bound for glory, this train
This train, she's bound for glory,
This train, she's bound for glory,
Don't carry nobody but the righteous and the holy
This train she's bound for glory, this train
I'm singin'
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, it's a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city
Hallelujah
Gonna lay down my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
(way, way down)
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside
Study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no, study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Gonna lay down that atom bomb
Down by the riverside
(way, way down)
Down by the riverside
(way, way down)
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down that atom bomb,
Down by the riverside
Study war no more
Study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no, study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Study war no more
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
