  Go, go, thou that enslav’st me, Now, now, thy power is o’er; Long, long, have I obeyed thee, I’m not a slave any more; No, no—oh, no! I’m a free man ever more! Thou, thou, broughtest me ever, Deep, deep, sorrow and pain; But I have left thee forever, Nor will I serve thee again; No, no—oh, no! No, I’ll not serve thee again. Tyrant! thou hast bereft me Home, friends, pleasures so sweet; Now, forever I’ve left thee, Thou and I never shall meet; No, no—oh, no! Thou and I never shall meet. Joys, joys, bright as the morning, Now, now, on me will pour, Hope, hope, on me is dawning, I’m not a slave any more! No, no—oh, no! I’m a FREE MAN evermore! |
