Set Me Free
by 
Hans Theessink 
recording of 1997 
from 
Journey On (Minor 84172) 
Congregation gathered by the river 
Early morning, dawning of the day 
Reverend Jones reads his sermon 
In the distance you can hear the people pray 
Roll on mighty Mississippi, wash your waters to the sea 
Roll on mighty Mississippi, wash away our sins and set us free 
Lord above, as you look upon us 
Hallowed be Thy name, we testify 
Lord, you give and take, don't turn these souls away 
Lead us to that mansion in the sky 
Roll on mighty Mississippi ... 
Down in the delta at the crossroads 
The ghost of Robert Johnson roams the land 
Telling the news, preaching the blues 
Lending the devil a hand 
Roll on mighty Mississippi ... 
Mojo 
people gather by the river 
Eternal beating of the drum 
Mumbling a prayer, there's 
voodoo 
in the air 
The spirit of the motherland returns 
Roll on mighty Mississippi ...
