Ain't gonna let nobody
Turn me around,
Turn me around,
Turn me around --
Ain't gonna let nobody
Turn me around --
I'm gonna keep on a-walkin',
Keep on a-talkin',
Marching up to Freedomland.
Ain't gonna let [insert evil person or thing]
Turn me around,
Turn me around,
Turn me around --
Ain't gonna let [same evil person or thing]
Turn me around --
I'm gonna keep on a-walkin',
Keep on a-talkin',
Marching up to Freedomland.

GOSPEL SOURCE OF THIS SONG:
The African American civil rights song "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round" is based on an African American Gospel song "Don't Let Nobody Turn Me Round". A version of that song was recorded in 1947. The African American Civil Rights song "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round" is based on an African American Gospel song with the same title. In the Gospel song, the line "marchin in to freedom land" is sung "walkin into Glory land" or "walkin into heaven land".
Like other civil rights songs, the words to this song aren't fixed. However, "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round" was sung in unison which means that those singing it knew in advance which verses were to be sung, and in which order the verses were sung. In contrast, the earliest renditions of the Gospel song probably were sung using a call & response pattern.
Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/06/aint-gonna-let-nobody-turn-me-round.html for two videos of Gospel versions of "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Round" - one by The Fairfield Four from the 1980s and one sung by Albertina Walker. The Fairfield Four first recorded this song in 1947. I'm not sure about the recording date for that Albertina Walker video. But I think it was in the early 2000s.
