Got the news from the whispering trees
This is the time when man must be freed
No more burning in vain
All we lose we’ll have to gain
Get ready children please
Get ready children please
Get ready children please
Didn’t I build the cabin
Didn’t I plant the corn
Didn’t my people keep holy
Slave to this country
Get ready children please
Get ready children please
Get ready children please
My sermon it was billed for freedom
The good Lord said son you’re a free man
I’m gonna talk that freedom talk
Let me see you walk that freedom walk
When yah gets ready, children please
Get ready children please
Get ready children please
A tell yah, got the news from a whispering tree
