Paul Robeson - Carry Me Back to Green Pastures Lyrics

Tied to my rockin' chair all day'Til the day is overDream of the southland far awayAnd the fields of cloverJust an ol' darky all aloneOl' rockin' chair's my prisonWaitin' to see the promised landWhen the sun has risenCarry me back to green, green pasturesThat's where I long to beCarry me back to green pasturesThat is the place for meI want to see the fields of cottonClose to that Suwannee shoreI want to hear my mammy callin'Down by the cabin doorOl' rockin' chair just keeps on swingin'Rockin' me to and fro'Sometimes I hear the angels singin'Chariots a swingin' lowI know that there's a land of promiseWaitin' for weary soulsCarry me back to green, green pasturesDown where the Jordan rolls
