Hallelujah I’m a Travelin’

Stand up and rejoice, a great day is here
We are fighting Jim Crow and the victory’s near
Hallelujah, I’m a travelin', hallelujah, ain’t it fine?
Hallelujah, I’m a-traveling down freedom’s main line!
I read in the news the Supreme Court has said
«Listen here, Mr. Jim Crow, it’s time you was dead»
Hallelujah, I’m a travelin', hallelujah, ain’t it fine?
Hallelujah, I’m a-traveling down freedom’s main line!
The judges declared in Washington town
«You white folks must take that old Jim Crow sign down»
Hallelujah, I’m a travelin', hallelujah, ain’t it fine?
Hallelujah, I’m a-traveling down freedom’s main line!
I’m paying my fare on the Greyhound bus line
I’m riding the front seat to Nashville this time
Hallelujah, I’m a travelin', hallelujah, ain’t it fine?
Hallelujah, I’m a-traveling down freedom’s main line!
Columbia’s the gem of the ocean, they say
We’re fighting Jim Crow in Columbia today
Hallelujah, I’m a travelin', hallelujah, ain’t it fine?
Hallelujah, I’m a-traveling down freedom’s main line!
I hate Jim Crow and Jim Crow hates me
And that’s why I’m fighting for my liberty
