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.
