Let me tell you the hard luck story
I believe in the freedom song
Well they took him and they beat him
Jack, he hung his head back
With a rope around his neck they left him hanging
I believe in the freedom song
About a man named Jack McDuff
He believed in God and glory
But he just wasn't tough enough
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
I'll choose my own destiny
Underneath the old hanging tree
Saying, "Jack, you must die"
"What will your last words be?"
"Long live liberty!"
"I believe in the freedom song"
"Doesn't matter what you do to me"
High on that old hanging tree
On her knees his wife was screaming
"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy"
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me
