[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Listen while I tell the hard luck story
'Bout a man named Jack McDuff
He believed in the God and the glory
But he just wasn't tough enough
[Chorus]
I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty
I believe in the freedom song
And I'll choose my own destiny
[Verse 2]
Well, they took him and they beat him
Underneath that old hangin' tree
Sayin', "Jack, you must die
What will your last words be?"
[Chorus]
Jack, he hung his head back
"Long live liberty
I believe in the freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
With a rope around his neck, they left him hangin'
High from that old hangin' tree
On her knees, his wife was screamin'
"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy"
[Chorus]
I believe in the freedom song
Long live-a the liberty
I believe in that freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me (Doesn't matter what you do to me)
