All around this country Trouble in the air And I hear the voices calling me: Asking "Do you know and do you care? Do you know and do you care?" So I'm gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me? Don't wanna cause no sorrow Don't wanna cause no pain Oh I'm only gonna cause what I have to cause Until this land is free of shame Till this land is free of shame So I'm gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me? Only one thing I know I know we're not alone 'Twas a million here before we came, Be a million when we're gone, we're gone A million when we're gone So I'm gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me? Oh I'm afraid of trouble Yes, I'm afraid of jail But I'm more afraid, Lord, not to try More afraid what happens now if we fail What happens now if we fail So I'm gonna do what I have to do Say what I have to say And I'm gonna be what I have to be Now won't you come on along with me? Won't you come along with me?
