Ridin'
Train’s in the station
Won’t be stoppin’ long
Won’t be comin’ back this way
Comin’ back this way again
Don’t miss this chance
To face an’ understand the past
‘Cos the truth will set you free, my friend
Lord, Lord,
Truth will set you free my friend
Ridin’ on to Memphis
Where they killed a king
Remember that?
Derailed for a while
But now we’re back on track
Stoppin’ in Rosewood
Pickin’ up survivors
When you be ridin’
Lord, we’re ridin’ on the Freedom Train
If anybody asks you
Where I am
When they don’t see me ‘round
‘Round here anymore
Tell ‘em if they wanna find me
All they have to do is follow –
Follow they hearts an’ get onboard
Get onboard!
When you be ridin’
Ridin’ on the Freedom Train
Come on stand by me y'all
Stoppin’ in Rosewood
Pickin’ up survivors
Stoppin’ in Selma
Lord, Montgomery, too
Stoppin’ in Gainesville
Stoppin’ in Money, Mississippi
Thinkin’ ‘bout Emmett Till
Y’all remember Emmett Till
When you be ridin’
Ridin’ on the freedom train
When you be ridin’
Ridin’ on the freedom train
Come on stand by me Lord
Come on stand by me Lord
Stand by me Lord
We're ridin’ on the freedom train
