We Shall Overcome

Mourn, mourn, mourn in-
Mourn, mourn, mourn in-

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday

We shall overcome someday
Will you join and sing with me, my brother?
We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday

We shall overcome someday
We shall overcome someday
Lord, have mercy
We shall overcome someday
Lord, have mercy

We shall overcome someday

Clean it down, mourn with me (Mourn in-)
Let us give unto God, okay
Nothing is more lovely and godly (Mourn in-)
Than stand up in the way of sinners
Than stand up in the seat of the humble (Mourn in-)

For if we light within the law of the Lord

And in his law do we make day, day and night
Lord, have mercy (Mourn in-)
And we shall be like a tree planted
By the rivers of water (Mourn in-)
That bringeth forth more fruit in due season

Lord, have mercy (Mourn in-)
The ungodly are not so (Mourn in-)
For they are like a chaff which the wind driveth away
Lord, have mercy (Mourn in-)
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in his judgement
Not even in the congregation of the righteous (Mourn in-)
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous
And I know the way of the ungodly shall always perish (Mourn in-)
Will you sing that song?

Got to say
Keep on saying, keep on saying
Reverend Martin Luther King
Have mercy on your soul
You can be all I wish to be to you, mister
