about

This song was inspired by the life of Harriet Tubman, and was performed when Amanda Foreman came into Mr B's to talk about her new book 'A world on fire'

lyrics

The life and times of Harriet Tubman

I’ll meet you in the morning
Sang Moses to her company
The promised land calls me
It’s death or liberty
An unknown, rail road,
Helped lead her from her home
We’ll sing with you, my dear
A coded farewell

This northern star
Took me
To a new country
This war has brought me
To new Liberty
So Moses now lived free
But thoughts of her, family
Which took her back, to the
Lost Southern, countries

I’ll sing to you we’re told
The underground railroad
Took the many un-free
To their liberty
I’ll sing to you we’re told
The underground railroad
Took the many un-free
To their liberty

Took the many un-free
To their liberty
