[intro: ] All around this country, trouble in the air And I hear the voices calling me Asking "do you know and do you care? Do you know and do you care?" So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me? Don't want to cause no sorrow Don't want to cause no pain I'm only gonna cause what I have to cause Until this land is free of shame 'til this land is free of shame So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me? Only one thing I know, I know we're not alone Was a million here before we came Be a million when we're gone, we're gone Million when we're gone So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me? Oh, I'm afraid of trouble, yes I'm afraid of jail But I'm more afraid, lord, not to try More afraid of what happens, now, if we fail What happens now if we fail So I'm a-gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me?
