Harriet Tubman

-Walter Robinson

One night I dreamed I was in slavery ‘Bout 1850 was the time

Sorrow was the only sign Nothing around to ease my mind

Out of the night there came a lady Leading a distant pilgrim band

“First Mate!” She called pointing her hand “Make room aboard for this young man”

CHORUS

Come on up, I got a life line Come on up to this train of mine

She said her name was Harriet Tubman And she drove for the Underground Railroad

Hundreds of miles we traveled onward Gathering slaves from town to town

Seeking every lost and found Setting those free that once were bound

Finally my heart was growing weaker I fell by the wayside sinking sand

Firmly did this woman stand She lifted me up and took my hand

CHORUS

Who are these children dressed in red? They must be the ones that Moses led.

Who are these children dressed in red? They must be the ones that Sister Moses led.

CHORUS
