[Chorus]
Come now my child and be free
That’s what she said to me
Let’s see the sun shine like gold through the trees
As we feel the breeze
Can’t stay long, more of you to bring home
I must leave

Come now, my child
Come now, my child, and be free, be free

[Verse 1]
I hear her song, she says, “Come on, I’ll carry you home”
The journey’s long, the road is hard
But we’ll get there, my child, I swear
The stars will guide us
The sweet Lord’s behind us
He told me so
Don’t look back, it’s time to go

[Chorus]
Come now, my child
Come now, my child, and be free, be free, be free
Come now, my child
Come now, my child, and be free, be free, be free
The horses are coming to run us down
I hear the sound of hunting hounds
im so afraid want to turn around
she stared and frowned
said the path you'll keep or I'll set you free in the river deep
so move your feet
We're almost there
i smell freedom in the air And
Aint it sweet
[Chorus]
Come now my child and be free
That’s what she said to me
Let’s see the sun shine like gold through the trees
As we feel the breeze
Can’t stay long, more of you to bring home
I must leave
Come now, my child "thats what she said to me"
Come now, my child, and be free, be free
[Outro]
Come now, my child "thats what she said to me"
Come now, my child
Be free
