Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

Oh freedom
Oh freedom
Oh freedom over me

And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free.

No more weeping
No more weeping
No more weeping over me

And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free.

No more prichett
No more prichett
No more prichett over me

And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free.

No more segregation
No more segregation
No more segregation over me

And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free.

Oh freedom (freedom!)
Oh freedom (freedom!)
Oh freedom over me

And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free.
