There's smoke down by the river.
Hear the cannon and the drum.
I've got one thing to ask you honey.
Can you run?
You know I hate to ask so late,
But the moment's finally come,
And there won't be time to change your mind.
Can you run?
chorus
Can you run, to the freedom line of the Lincoln soldiers?
Where the contraband can be a man,
With a musket on his shoulder.
I've got to stand up tall before I'm done.
Wrap these hands of mine around a gun,
And chase the taste of bondage from my tongue.
Can you run?
Can you run?
I'm takin' nothin' with me.
We've just got time to beat the sun.
And the boys in gray are never far away.
Can you run?
There's smoke down by the river.
Hear the cannon and the drum.
And even if I die, I've got to try.
Can you run?
