Sing and shout: the mighty voice of Paul Robeson

I'm gonna sing and shout

A motherless child

A home in that rock

On my journey now

My heart in pain

We are climbing higher and higher

England's green and pleasant land

Get on board

The walls came a tumblin' down

Ol' man river

The little wheel runs by faith

One that loved not wisely

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down

Feel the spirit

No second class aboard this train

The fate is cheap and all can go

Let my people go

I must keep fighting until I'm dying

Arise, triumphant, the laboring folk

Who are you? America!

The right to speak my mind

Scandalize my name

As soon as ever my back was turned

Oppressed so hard

Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work's in vain

Nobody knows my sorrow

We're soldiers in this fight.
