Odetta Odetta
Odetta over me
She went to sing
For Martin Luther King
And went home to the Lord to be free.

Odetta Odetta
Odetta over me
She sang on our show
And then she had to go
And went home to the Lord to be free.

Odetta Odetta
Odetta over me
She lived to 77
And then went up to heaven
And went home to the Lord to be free.

Odetta Odetta
Odetta over me
Good night to you, Mama
You got to see Barack Obama
And went home to the Lord to be free.

Oh Freedom Oh freedom
Oh freedom over me
She shone with pure light
And now she's said goodnight
And went home to the Lord to be free.
