lyrics

See these poor souls from Africa,
Transported to America:
We are stolen, and sold to Georgia,
will you go with me?
sound the jubilee.

Dear Lord! dear Lord!
when will Slavery cease
Then we poor souls
can have our peace;
There's a better day coming
There's a better day coming,

See these poor souls from Burma,
Transported to brothels abroad:
We are stolen, and sold away,
will you go with me?
sound the jubilee.

See wives and husbands sold apart,
The children's screams!—it breaks the heart;
We are stolen, and torn asunder
will you go with me?
sound the jubilee.

O, gracious Lord! when shall it be,
That we poor souls shall all be free?
Lord, break them Slavery powers -
will you go with me?
sound the jubilee.
