Please Captain, let me go down town
Its Sunday and my friends will be around
Ive been to church like Im supposed to do
And I prayed that my girl is gonna be there too
Cos Jesus said to me,
One day youll be free,
But for now every Sunday, theres dancing in the square,
Well sing our fathers songs and therell be freedom in the air
Well plant a seed and maybe itll grow
So please Captain, let me go
And thats right, thats right, going down to Freedom Square
Thats right, thats right, thats right
And thats right, thats right, gonna meet my people there
Thats right, thats right, thats right
Well I slaved all week and the day has come around
When I can slip these chains and lay my burden down
On Freedom Square, Old Hannah shine on bright
On the working man and make him feel alright
Today were on our own,
Were taking it back home
And up from the plantation, the line is coming through
Like theyre dancing in their shackles, the way they used to do
And every step they take is gonna be
One further down the road for you and me
And thats right, thats right, going down to Freedom Square
Thats right, thats right, thats right
And thats right, thats right, gonna meet my people there
Thats right, thats right, thats right
