Additional verse by Civil Rights workers in the 60s.
Well I rode with old Abe LincolnI heard Martin Luther King
on that train to Gettysburg,When he said,"Let freedom ring."
I asked him "What are we gonna do?"And he told us of his dream for me and you.
He said "Every man must be"Not the colour of your skin
unconditionally freeBut the character within."
Or there is no reason to be passing through."He said,"That's what matters while we're passing through."
