General Moses Lyrics

Born into slavery

Surviving tough abuse

Guided by the Northern Star

Eluding men and dogs

Planning her attack

The hidden railway track

Creating paths and trails

Quilts with secret codes

Wadin' through the water

All to save her folks

All through the night

She was the leading light

She set us free

From slavery

A wanted woman

True bravery

The northern star

Lead her afar

Bounty on her head

A real avatar

Through the woods and fields

Men and women ran

Bringing pots of steaming rice,

Babies on their backs

And they were free

Leavin' Combahee

She set us free

From slavery

A wanted woman

True bravery

The northern star

Lead her afar

Bounty on her head

A real avatar

She set us free

From slavery

A wanted woman

True bravery

The northern star

Lead her afar

Bounty on her head

A real avatar

Bounty on her head

She shows us who we are
