Freedom Suite: Uncle Tom’s Prayer lyrics
by Traditional
Well, I'm an Uncle Tom, Lord
That's what the people say
But I ain't no Uncle Tom
I'm just a little afraid
Oh, help me, Lord, to stand up
And be a man
And I'll fight segregation
As long as I can
Well, what about my job, Lord
Lord, what shall I do
You know if I join that line, Lord
You know that I am through
Oh, help me, Lord, to stand up
And be a man
And I'll fight segregation
As long as I can
Well, what about my house, Lord
All these notes that I have
You know I want my house, Lord
And that ain't no lie
Oh, help me, Lord, to stand up
And be a man
And I'll fight segregation
As long as I can
