Devil Jo - CITY ON THE HILL Lyrics

Skydog Slaver eat your heart out, I be long gone before ya dogs shout
Them cotton fields, a long way behind, My trail gone cold, nothin' to find
My Mama heard 'it's my money, Honey', Papa heard 'Work hard, don't act funny'
I'm gonna work for that dollar bill, I'm gonna reach that City on a Hill
I'm a leavin' Pharaoh's land behind, Chimes of freedom ringin' in my mind
Fear of the dark turns a mind blind, Follow me now...
Grip the ties that bind, the ties that bind
Give you the strength, To leave them fields behind
All right now
It takes a soul to say what it's about, Hold up a torch so no one's left alone
The drinking gourd shows the way out, Long gone's the whip that cuts to the bone
I'm a leavin' Pharaoh's land behind, Chimes of freedom ringin' in my mind
Fear of the dark turns a mind blind, Follow me...
.........
I'm a leavin' Pharaoh's land behind, Chimes of freedom ringin' in my mind
Fear of the dark turns a mind blind, Follow me... Follow me... Follow me
The ties that bind, will pull you up, Follow me... Follow me now
