Listen while I tell the hard luck story
About a man named Jack Magduff
He believed in the God and the glory
But he just wasn′t tough enough
I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty
I believe in the freedom song
And I'll choose my own destiny
Well they took him and they beat him
Underneath that old hangin′ tree
Saying Jack, you must die
What will your last words be?
Jack he hung his head back
Long live liberty
I believe in the freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me
With a rope around his neck they left him hangin'
High from that old hangin′ tree
On her knees his wife was screamin′
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy
I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty
I believe in that freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me
