Get Off the Track

Source Text: Jesse Hutchinson, Jr.'s "Get Off the Track! A Song for Emancipation," Boston: Published by the Author, 1844.

Freedom's car rides majestic through our nation,
bearing on its train.
Liberty, a nation's glory.

Ho! The train speeds, the dauntless Liberator.
Onward, cheered.
Roll it along.

Put on the steam.
Wood up the fire.
Pull up the rails.
Jump for your lives.
