    Yep
    This one's called "Alabama 69"

    I come from Alabama and I work a ten pound hammer
    And my woman's picking cotton for the bossman on the hill
    They work us till they break our back
    Beat us cos our skin is black
    I guess I'll have to slave till the whip is in the grave

    Yeah, when will we be free
    I wanna walk down any road
    And feel I have my liberty

    Well, from day to day I live to die
    The scars across my back don't lie
    Ain't there anyone out there
    To hear my freedom cry

    Well, I believe a man's a man who earns his pay as best he can
    The colour of his skin don't mean he ain't just like you
    Yeah, but white folk here don't give a hell
    They think that we were born to smell
    Of sweat and dust and dirt
    Or plough until we die

    Hallelujah
    Let me hear you now

    When will we be free
    I wanna walk down any road
    And feel I have my liberty

    These shoes I'm wearing every day
    Got holes the size of Frisco Bay
    I'm praying for the time
    When there will come a judgement day

    Let me play you some lead here
    Ooh, ooh

    Well, we all know how long it is since Lincoln made those promises
    That one day we would walk along the white side of the street
    Now, but there were some bad folk around
    That got so riled they shot him down
    And there ain't a cop in town
    Who wouldn't do the same for me

    Yeah, now, when will we be free
    I wanna walk down any road
    And feel I have my liberty

    Well, now, now
    When will we be free
    Yeah, yeah
    When will we be free
    Ooh, yeah
    When will we be free
    Well, now, now
    When will we be free
    Well, now, now, now, now
    When will we be free-acap
